Because of the roomy facilities, great location, excellent parking and award winning landscape, the fairgrounds is a popular rental spot. The Fairgrounds are conveniently located near several major highways. The fairgrounds is already home to hundreds of events each year. Each weekend, except for the month of October due to the State Fair , the buildings are transformed into different events that appeal to different members of the same family. On a typical weekend there may be a dog show in the Graham Building, a train show in the Holshouser Building and a sportscard show in the Kerr Scott Building.
All events have ample parking available.
In addition to these special events, the Flea Market , the largest in the state, is held each weekend. A calendar of events is posted on our Web site. Our prices are reasonable. In addition to ample parking and a great location, building rental prices at the fairgrounds are reasonably priced. At the N.C. State Fairgrounds you can have a meeting, conference or exhibit that is easily accessible without having to spend most of your budget on the building rental.
