LADSON, S.C. (WCBD) – The Coastal Carolina Fair is open for business for the next 11 days starting this Halloween night.
Officials kicked off the fair by hosting an opening ceremony before 3 p.m. This year, some food vendors are bringing new products such as pickled drinks and doughnut floats. There are attractions, entertainment, arts and crafts, and more.
Gary Leonard, co-chairman of the Coastal Carolina Fair, said that he predicts there could be a possible record in attendance.
“When we have great weather, we produce a great number of people.,” Leonard said. “I would think we might hit it between 220 to 240 thousand over our 11-day run of the fair. I think also we have such a great turnout of fans, we also got really great products from our vendors, our entertainers. Just so much going on, there’s something for every family, from the youngest to the oldest.”
Fair leaders encourage fairgoers to come on the weekdays to avoid long lines and big crowds, which is typical on the weekends. There is also a clear-bag policy in effect.
