N.C. State Fair Sponsorships

Sponsorship Header

Nothing ushers in fall like the North Carolina State Fair, with visitors from all over North Carolina and beyond, gathering together in Raleigh to celebrate what has become the ultimate family tradition. In 2019, we greeted 938,029 fairgoers over 11 days.

 

168 years in the making, the fair offers an experience unique to North Carolina for all who attend, and is an unparalleled value with free entertainment, thrilling rides and games, thousands of animals, endless family activities, competitions, vendors and creative deep-fried delights.

 

Join our tradition by becoming a sponsor of the 2021 N.C. State Fair, October 14-24, by emailing Sarah Ray, public information officer, at sarah.ray@ncagr.gov.
