See All FAQs
    What are the security and safety requirements?
    Depending on expected attendance and event type, security staffing, crowd control, bag checks, and emergency planning may be required. The Fairgrounds will work with you to determine appropriate measures.
    What is the process for load-in and load-out?
    Load-in/load-out schedules must be coordinated with your event manager. The Fairgrounds will specify access points, vehicle routes, staging areas, equipment unloading rules, and required staffing. Early or late access may be available for an additional fee.
    Do you offer site tours?
    Yes. Promoters can schedule an on-site tour to review venue options, discuss logistics, and ensure the selected space fits the event’s needs.
    Do you offer ticket scanning entry gates or wristband systems?
    Some equipment may be available; otherwise, promoters can bring their own systems. Wristbands, scanners, and ticket booths can be arranged through the event manager.
    Does the venue provide tables, chairs, staging, and other equipment?
    Our venue does offer basic equipment rentals (tables, chairs, bleachers, risers), though availability varies. Additional items may be supplied by third-party vendors.
