The Charlotte Fair has been a family-favorite event for 11 years because of the wide range of activities and entertainment for all ages. The fair is back this spring from March 13-29, and if you haven’t been, you’ll definitely want to make this a new family tradition!
Here’s why parents can’t get enough of the Charlotte Fair:
Incredible Rides from Dreamland Amusements

The Charlotte Fair features thrilling rides for all ages from Dreamland Amusements – including the Super Cyclone Roller Coaster, Giant Ferris Wheel, Delusion and Dream Catcher. Watch your kids take a spin on the carousel or hop on the Himalaya with them if you’re up for the speed! If your little one isn’t quite a daredevil, they will love the teacups, fire engines or dizzy dragons.

Family Friendly Entertainment

Once your family is done braving the roller coaster or taking in the views from the Ferris Wheel, there are numerous other entertainment offerings including the Rockin’ A Ranch Petting Zoo, the Marvelous Mutts canine sports show, or the Aguiar Family Thrill Show and Circus.

The best part of all these shows? They are FREE with admission to the Charlotte Fair!
The fair will also feature numerous carnival games that children will love trying to master, like the classic balloon pop and Skee Ball.
Fantastic Charlotte Fair Food

Going out with the entire family can be a hassle sometimes, especially when it comes to feeding everyone what they’re in the mood for. At the Charlotte Fair, there is no shortage of delicious food options that everyone will drool over!
