Vendors & Concessionaires
I would like to be a vendor at the State Fair. Can I get a space?
There is a very low turnover for commercial space at the North Carolina State Fair. We do look for unique products and services to add to the quality vendors already at the fair. The deadline for applications closed July 1st.
We have compiled a list of nearby businesses that may be helpful to those who are not familiar with the area, including nearby laundromats, discount stores and more. Please click here to see this list.
