The N.C. State Fair does not hire employees to work in food service, custodial service or with the carnival.
The Fair is no longer accepting applications for vendors.
There is a very low turnover for commercial space at the N.C. State Fair. We do look for unique products and services to add to the quality vendors already at the fair. The deadline was July 1, 2024.
Looking for a unique idea to increase your visibility? The N.C. State Fair is the ideal place to drive awareness to your brand. As the largest event in the state, each day of the fair offers new opportunities to reach the customers you are looking for. Built for flexibility, we're ready to put our heads together to create a package that meets your goals. Sponsorships can include: title sponsors of music stages, educational exhibits, competitions, buildings, carnival rides, full days of the fair, event signage, discounted ticket offers, fireworks and more. Reach out for more information, and let's get started! We also have opportunities for both year-round sponsorship as well as sponsorship of our annual Got to Be NC Festival in May.
