The North Carolina State Fair is an annual fair and agricultural exposition held in Raleigh, North Carolina, and organized by the North Carolina Department of Agriculture. The North Carolina State Fair was first held by the North Carolina Agricultural Society at a site east of Raleigh in 1853; it has been celebrated continuously since then, with the exceptions of 1861 to 1869 (during the Civil War and Reconstruction), 1926 to 1927 (when the Agricultural Society disbanded and the state Agriculture Department took over operations), and 1942 to 1945 (during World War II). In the 1870s and 1880s, the mills in Winston-Salem would close so that workers could attend the state fair in Raleigh. The fair has been held at its present site on the western edge of Raleigh since 1928. The highlight of the 344 acre (1.4 km ) fairgrounds complex is Dorton Arena, a 7,500-seat arena constructed with a unique large suspended roof.
