The South Carolina State Fair will host its 1st-ever free, Drive-Through SC State Fair Tuesday, Oct. 20 and Wednesday, Oct. 21.

“In the midst of the worst global crisis of our lifetime, we wanted to give the community something positive to look forward to,” said General Manager Nancy Smith, who also serves as the current chair of the International Association of Fairs and Exhibitions (IAFE).

Guests will enjoy free admission to drive through the fairgrounds and experience unique, car-friendly attractions that highlight South Carolina’s agriculture, history, arts and culture.

Guests will be able to drive into the Lexington Medical Center Fair Park on the fairgrounds, and purchase their favorite fair foods.

Next year’s fair will take place October 13-24, 2021.

Plan ahead for Carolina Lights, downtown’s most popular drive-through holiday lights show.

The 2nd annual “Carolina Lights” drive-through lights show will be Dec. 5-27.
