North Carolina State Fair
Oct. 12-22, 2023, Raleigh
From tasty funnel cakes to livestock shows, the North Carolina State Fair is a can’t-miss event. Held in Raleigh each October, the city comes alive for 11 days of old-fashioned fair fun. From talented entertainers and fascinating agriculture exhibits to rowdy competitions and rides for all ages, the fair offers something for everyone. For example, you can test your cooking skills and brush up on your knowledge of state agriculture before heading to the rides and games on the midway.
