The story
Upper South Carolina State Fair in Easley
The Upper South Carolina State Fair brings rides, games, livestock exhibits, and national touring acts to the Greenville-Pickens Speedway between Greenville and Easley every late summer, a fairgrounds tradition in the Upstate that has run most years since 1964 and now spans both a summer and a spring session.
The Upper South Carolina State Fair has occupied a specific niche in the Upstate's calendar since 1964: a country fair built around rides, food, agricultural exhibits, and games, held on the grounds of the Greenville-Pickens Speedway, a site that sits between the cities of Greenville and Easley and has long served double duty as a racing venue and fairgrounds.
