Welcome to the 2018 NC State Fair. This page will keep you informed as to everything you will need to know from pit parking to daily event information.
PIT PARKING
Contact Reed Lee (919-427-4809) for ALL parking and direction questions.
Due to some construction on the grounds we are having to alter some parking locations. The grounds will be open for parking at 12:15 am Thursday October 11th. We can not have any of the parking area for our equipment before that so please plan accordingly.
When entering the fair area turn West on Trinity road and continue PAST the Oak tree at gate 9, stop in the middle turn lane on Trinity road just before Youth Center Drive (see red marking on map below), turn your flashers on and someone will come to assist you. If not please contact Reed Lee on his cell and you will receive directions from one of his parking attendants. PLEASE DO NOT ENTER ANY PARKING AREA WITHOUT CONTACTING REED LEE (919-427-4809) or Rod Cague (919-671-8854) FIRST!
