The 2022 N.C. Mountain State Fair will offer several promotional days to help fairgoers save big on gate and ride tickets during the fair’s 28th annual run Sept. 9-18 at the WNC Agricultural Center in Fletcher.
“In addition to saving money by buying your admission and ride tickets to the Mountain State Fair in advance, we are offering other great deals for fairgoers during the fair,” said general manager Sean McKeon. “Whether you’re a kid, adult or senior, there are money saving opportunities for everyone, with special promotions being held just about every day of the fair.”
The fun deals begin Friday, Sept. 9, with Student Day and Unlimited Rides, when the fair offers free admission for students in grades K-12 until 6 p.m. In addition, that day fairgoers pay just $25 plus gate admission for unlimited rides between 10 a.m. to midnight.
On Monday. Sept. 12, and Thursday, Sept. 15, fairgoers can enjoy unlimited rides from 4 to 11 p.m. for $20 plus gate admission.
Tuesday, Sept. 13, is Family Night, which is all about rides for the kiddies. Children ages 12 and under can get unlimited rides from 4 to 11 p.m. for $20, plus gate admission.
Wednesday, Sept. 14, is Ingles Day at the fair, benefitting MANNA Food Bank’s battle against hunger in North Carolina. Visitors who bring five cans of Laura Lynn brand foods from local Ingles stores will receive free gate admission. Canned goods collected that day go to the Food Bank, which serves 16 counties in Western North Carolina. Ingles Day adds up to a great deal for a great cause.
