1200 Rosewood DriveSouth Carolina State Fair
The South Carolina State Fair is best known for bringing 12 days of exhibits, competitions, food, midway rides and big-name entertainment to Columbia each October. It’s ranked one of the Top 50 fairs in the United States.
The organization, though, operates year-round. With six exhibit halls and 115 acres adjacent to the University of South Carolina’s Williams-Brice Stadium, the fair offers football parking and is a popular venue for major events such as craft shows, home and garden shows, boat shows, civic functions and charitable fundraisers.
A self-supporting 501(c)3 non-profit organization, the fair fulfills its mission to educate young adults by awarding scholarships and since 1997, has granted more than $3 million to South Carolina students.
In order to celebrate the Fort Jackson Centennial, this event will offer military discounts or special recognition for the role Fort Jackson plays in our community. Please see the host event’s website at the top of the page. Join the Columbia Chamber and Fort Jackson for a year-long celebration to commemorate 100 years of partnerships between the Fort and the Midlands.
