From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

North Carolina Potato Festival , originally known as the Albemarle Potato Festival is an annual tradition in Northeastern North Carolina that celebrates one of the region's most important crops.[1] The festival ran from 1940 through 1970 before it was revived in 2001.[2] It takes place annually in mid-May in Elizabeth City, North Carolina.[3]

In 2009, it was made the official state Irish Potato Festival of North Carolina.[4]
