The South Carolina State Fair, a self-supporting 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, was organized in 1869 and is dedicated to preserving and promoting South Carolina's agricultural roots while supporting statewide education. In addition to the annual South Carolina State Fair held each fall, the charitable organization manages annual football parking and is a popular event venue. In 2026, the South Carolina State Fair will have donated over $6 million in scholarships since 1997.
