Sensory Friendly Morning at the SC State Fair

The lights and sounds of the South Carolina State Fair will be a little lower from 10 a.m.-noon on Thursday, Oct. 13, 2022, when the S.C. State Fair hosts it’s first-ever Sensory-Friendly Morning. During Sensory-Friendly Morning, the S.C. State Fair will create an environment designed with children and adults with autism or sensory processing disorders in mind.  The goal for the morning is to enable families who have a member, whether child or adult, with special needs to visit, explore and enjoy the fair. #DDSN will be welcoming families as they enter the gates to the fair.
