General Information

ATMs

There are several ATM's located on the fairgrounds. Due to the large volume of use during the fair, funds in the ATM's can occasionally be diminished.

First Aid

There are three first aid stations located on the fairgrounds that are staffed during the hours of the fair by medical personnel - 1 station on the Upper Grounds across from the Souvenir Booth, 1 station on the Lower Grounds outside of the Goats/Rabbits/Poultry/Swine Barn, and the Emergency Services Building located in the center of the grounds on Canfield Lane.

Hotels

Looking for a place to stay during your visit to the Durham Fair? We are excited to partner with two great properties. Make sure you ask for the Durham Fair special!

Information Booths

Information booths are positioned around the fair grounds and are staffed with experienced volunteers ready to make sure your fair is an enjoyable time.

Lost and Found Items

All lost and found items should be reported to the fair staff in the Crow's Nest.

Lost Children

Name tags for small children are available at each Information Booth. Parents and guardians are strongly urged to make use of the name tags. They make it much easier for fair staff members to reunite lost children with their parents or guardians. Parents and guardians should instruct their children where to wait if they become lost and to write that location on the name tag. Lost children who have not been given instructions will be taken to the State Police Command Post near the Emergency Services Building on Canfield Lane.

Pets

Because of our concern for the safety of the animals on exhibit and for the comfort and safety of our patrons, no pets are allowed on the fairgrounds with the ONLY exception being a service animal trained to provide assistance to an individual with a disability.

Strollers and Wheelchairs

Strollers and wheelchairs are not available for rental. Please make any necessary arrangements for these items before arriving at the fair.
