Raleigh Durham, NC, October 14, 2026 —

A study has ranked the North Carolina State Fair as the fourth best in the nation, according to the information provided about the finding.

The available summary does not identify who conducted the study, when it was released or which fairs were included in the ranking. It also does not describe the criteria used to determine the placements or provide details about the fair’s score. Those missing details limit what can be said about how the ranking was reached and what distinguishes the fair in the study’s assessment.

The finding establishes the fair’s reported position in the ranking: fourth nationally. It does not, on its own, indicate whether the study measured attendance, attractions, visitor feedback, cost or other factors. No information was provided about the rankings immediately above or below it, or about whether the study’s results were independently reviewed.

The summary also does not provide a statement from fair organizers or the study’s authors. Without those details, the ranking cannot be placed in a broader account of the fair’s operations or the study’s methodology. Further information about the source and criteria would be needed to explain how the result was determined.

For now, the reported result is limited to the study’s placement of the North Carolina State Fair at No. 4 in the nation. The study’s name, publication date, methodology and full list of ranked fairs were not provided.
