The Charlotte Fair’s commitment goes beyond providing thrilling rides, incredible shows, and delicious food; we are deeply invested in the local Charlotte, Mecklenburg, and Cabarrus County communities, both financially and by creating memorable moments for generations of families. We are proud to partner with local nonprofits and businesses through special initiatives and Deal Days at the fair to give back. The Charlotte Fair is more than an event – it’s a tradition built on community support and shared joy, ensuring good times we create today help build a better tomorrow for everyone in the area.
