OVERVIEWEvery year the NC Mountain State Fair
showcases the best western North Carolina has to offer. The mountain heritage and local talents on display at the fair are what makes it a unique and enjoyable event.
It’s that delicate balance of sustaining the well-worn and treasured traditions of the fair and introducing a few fresh attractions that has made the NC Mountain State Fair a destination for families for the last 21 years.
Agricultural fairs are the windows that the public views agriculture through, and more importantly they provide opportunity for them to experience it firsthand.
2015 THEME“Mountain Fair! Mountain Fun!”
ATTENDANCEA record 191,596 people attended the fair in
2013.
FOODFor many, the fair means one thing: food. Lots
and lots of food, often deep fried, on a stick or deep fried and on a stick. Fair-goers marvel each year at the various concoctions, returning to old favorites and trying new treats.
Can you say fried pineapple on a stick? Or pork chop on a stick? Then there’s deepfried Milky Way bar on a stick, cheesecake on a stick, fried peanut butter and jelly sandwich on a stick and don’t forget about the fried pickle on a stick. It seems like everything at the fair just tastes better on a stick.
EMPLOYMENTThe NC Mountain State Fair has approximately
400 paid employees for the 10 day duration of the fair.
ENTERTAINMENTOver 100 acts perform at the fairs’ numerous
free entertainment venues.
ATTRACTIONSDrew Expositions features more than 40 carnival
rides and numerous games of skill. Kiddyland offers 30+ carnival rides for pint-sized fair visitors.
AGRICULTURE & COMPETITIONOver $240,000 in competition premiums is
available in 2015. Livestock exhibitors compete for ribbons and cash in hundreds of competitions. The Expo Building showcases Arts and Crafts, Photos, Quilts and Hand Sewn Clothing, Cooking Competitions, Wood Carvings and many other Competitive Entry items.
FACILITY INFORMATIONThe WNC Agricultural Center is owned by
the State of North Carolina and operated by the NC Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. The facility and the NC Mountain State Fair are completely self-supported and receive no appropriated tax funds for operational expenses.
The NC Mountain State Fairs’ mission is to educate and involve our guests by providing a world-class agricultural showcase that is innovative, entertaining and fun.

BOJANGLES SEA LION SPLASH The sea lions will amaze the crowd as they balance balls, shoot hoops, dance, perform handstands and show their pretty smiles. This is the only show in the U.S. to feature both California and South American sea lions. The idea of the Sea Lion Splash originated when Squalus started taking in beached sea lions who were unable to be returned to the wild due to age or injuries and unable to provide food for themselves. Squalus provides a permanent home for these sea lions for the rest of their lives.
[ ENTERTAINMENT LINEUP ]
HANSEN’S SPECTACULAR ACROBATIC SENSATIONS An Amazing family thrill show with aerial acts over 30 feet high! The show includes incredible juggling, trampoline, skating, and cloudswing acts. Shane has been in show business since a young age, roller-skating at the age of three in the “Rolling Diamonds” act with his parents. For years Alicia performed with the Flying Redpaths and was trained by her father Mike Redpath.
