This spring, the NC State Chapter of Consult Your Community will be hosting our 5th annual Small Business Fair at Stafford Commons on NC State's campus. The event is completely free of charge for all vendors and attendees, and brings together 75+ local vendors and thousands of attendees from both the NC State and Raleigh communities

Our 2026 Small Business Fair brought together 71 vendors and over 2,000 attendees, with speakers including NC Secretary of State Elaine Marshall, NC Democratic Whip Jay Chaudhuri, and NC Senator Lisa Grafstein, with support from Governor Josh Stein.

In 2027, we aim to grow the fair to 90-100 vendors, expand our programming, increase attendance, and strengthen our community partnerships. With your support, we can achieve these goals!
