The Carolina Classic Fair is an annual event held in the Winston-Salem area since 1882 (back when that area was known simply as Salem). Held every autumn, the fair features a wide variety of festivities that include food, live performances, and vendors of all kinds. It’s the second largest fair in North Carolina and generally runs from October 3-14.

Try unique fried food combinations, such as fried Reese’s Cups, or treat that sweet tooth another way with the famous Krispy Kreme Burger! Other must-see festivities include:

• Yesterday Village – A fun blast from the past stroll through a log cabin section of the Fair Grounds built in the 1800s with live blacksmithing, rug making, and glass blowing.
• Demolition Derby – A popular attraction to any fair, cars compete by smashing into each other until only one car is intact. It makes for a fun show and an interesting change of pace from other offerings.
• Evening fireworks display – Starting at 9:45pm each night of the fair, the fireworks display is a breathtaking way to conclude a day of fun.
• Rides and carnival attractions – Love Ferris Wheels and Tilt-O-Whirls? Enjoy carnival rides and games as you tour the grounds, great for the whole family!
