🎡 TODAY’S THE DAY! 🎡

The Durham Fair gates open at 4 PM! 🎉

Rain or shine, we’re ready for Fair fun! We’re an agricultural fair, so we know Mother Nature likes to keep us guessing. 🌦️

Come hungry and bring your Fair spirit for animals, exhibits, food, entertainment and plenty to explore under cover, too!

We’re monitoring conditions closely, and safety always comes first. Any updates will be shared on our website, social channels and Durham Fair app.

🌧️ Rain boots optional.
🎡 Fair spirit required.

See you at 4! 🧡
