Seniors (ages 55+) enjoy $15 admission every day at the fairgrounds — except on Senior Day, Wednesday, Oct. 15, when admission is just $5 at the gate.  

Lunch Bunch

Join the lunch bunch! Pop in and out of the S.C. State Fair for lunch with a special lunch bunch ticket, available from noon-2 p.m. each weekday (except Wednesday, Oct. 8). Pay your entry fee and receive a refundable $20 ticket. Return to the ticket booth with the ticket by 2 p.m. to get your money back.

American Tribute

Join us every day at noon when the American flag will be raised on the main flagpole outside the Cantey Building near the South Gate and the National Anthem will be played across the PA system. Occasionally, a special guest will sing or raise the flag. Guests are invited to pause in a moment of unity and reverence — bringing the fair community together with this heartfelt tribute.
