Jacksonville Fair Relocation

WHY IS THE FAIR MOVING?

The move to the Westside marks a transformational step forward for The Jacksonville Fairgrounds and The Greater Jacksonville Agricultural Fair --a forward-looking investment designed to meet the needs of a rapidly growing city. Our new Westside location provides the space, infrastructure and modern capabilities that the current downtown site can no longer support.

This isn’t simply a relocation. This is a strategic expansion that elevates the Fair into a premier regional destination. It positions us as a premier regional entertainment and event destination with the land, access and next-generation facilities to host larger events, debut new experiences, and deliver a dramatically enhanced guest experience. This move gives us the scale, capability, and flexibility to grow in all the right ways — for this year, next year, and the decades ahead.

Our downtown home has served Jacksonville well for 70 years, but its limitations cap the Fair’s potential. The new Fairgrounds unlocks room to grow, innovate and strengthen programming for future generations creating a purpose-built, future-ready event campus that will serve Northeast Florida and for decades to come.

WHERE IS THE FAIR MOVING

We are moving to The Westside of Jacksonville. Our formal address will be:

Greater Jacksonville Agricultural Fair

13601 Normandy Boulevard

Jacksonville, Florida 32221

WHEN IS THE FAIR MOVING?

We’re on track to relocate in January 2026.

HOW WILL THE MOVE IMPACT EVENTS AND THE ANNUAL JACKSONVILLE FAIR?

In short: it’s a game-changer. Our new Fairgrounds is not just a relocation -it is a reinvention. The new location has been meticulously designed from the ground up to give Jacksonville a bigger, smarter, more profound event experience. Here’s what’s coming:

• 82+ acres of festival-ready land
• A 40,000 sq. ft., purpose-built, scalable indoor concert venue and exhibition hall
• State-of-the-art 10,000 capacity amphitheater
• Spacious and ultra-modern barn
• 5000+ Parking Spaces
• RV Village with full hook-ups
• Extension of current road from the north-end of the property to mitigate any traffic overflow

🎡 MORE SPACE FOR EVENTS, RIDES, EXHIBITORS, PARKING & ATTRACTIONS
Although we love Downtown Jacksonville and are happy for its rapid growth –we will no longer be boxed in by expressways, stadium parking and traffic congestion for multiple events happening simultaneously within the Sports Complex where the Fair is currently located.

At our new Westside home, we finally have room to grow — 82+ acres, infact! 5000+ easy-in/easy-out parking spaces and multiple points of entry/exit. Wider midways (during The Fair), expanded layouts and space to bring in the kind of rides and features North Florida and South Georgia have been asking for and deserve.

🚗 SMARTER TRAFFIC FLOW & DRAMATICALLY IMPROVED PARKING
With multiple points of entry and exit, wide routing options and support from COJ (City of Jacksonville) getting in and out will be smoother, faster and far more convenient. And did someone say 5000+ easy-in/easy-out Parking spaces?

🎤 YEAR-ROUND EVENT CAPABILITY
From concerts and festivals to tradeshows, graduations and conventions, the new Westside location will allow us to host many more and much bigger events, year-round.

🎉 THE WESTSIDE. THE NEXT CHAPTER. THE BIGGER VISION

The move to the Westside is a strategic investment in Jacksonville’s next era of entertainment and community connection. Our mission is clear: deliver the world-class Fairgrounds this city deserves and elevate the annual Jacksonville Fair into a larger, more accessible, and truly unforgettable experience.

At our new home, everything gets an upgrade. Modern, purpose-built facilities. Smarter traffic flow. More space for rides, exhibitors, shows, and activations. Expansive indoor and outdoor venues designed to host bigger, better, and more dynamic events all year long.

This transition is guided by one overarching goal: to give Jacksonville and Northeast Florida an even stronger Fair and a premier event destination built for the future.

HOW ARE YOU ADDRESSING PARKING AND TRAFFIC AT THE NEW LOCATION?

We understand how important seamless parking and easy access are to your experience. This is why an extension of a current road from the north-end of the property is being constructed to move guests in and out quickly.

In partnership with the City of Jacksonville we are implementing a comprehensive traffic, parking and on-site mobility plan that will deliver significantly improved flow, capacity and access at the new Fairgrounds.
