N.C. State Fair Division

Following Executive Orders from Governor Cooper and recommendations of NCDHHS, certain events will be taking place at the North Carolina State Fair. Events held will comply with all requirements specified to reduce the risk of person-to-person transmission of COVID-19. The safety of our guests is always our highest priority, and we believe following these requirements and guidelines is in the best interest of our community. We will continue to closely monitor the course of COVID-19.
