You can pay $10 to enter the N.C. State Fair at Gate 9 (Trinity Road) or Gate 1 (Hillsborough Street) between 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. on weekdays.

Purchase your lunch card (cash only) at Gate 9 or Gate 1 to enter the fair. Enjoy lunch and dessert from as many vendors as you'd like, and return the lunch card at the same gate you entered to be refunded $10. Guests must leave the fair by 1:30 p.m. to get their refund.

The offer is only available at Gates 9 and 1 Monday through Friday. The fair runs Oct. 12 through Oct. 22.

With dozens of new choices this year, the food options can be overwhelming. The NC State Fair has a food finder to help you out.
