*NEW TRAFFIC PATTERN*
The Short and Sweet of It!
We’ve made some exciting improvements to traffic patterns at the fair this year to make your arrival and departure smoother than ever.
- More Entrance Locations.
- More Exit Locations.
- Improved Parking Procedures.
- Additional Parking and Street Signage.
You can now enter or exit through Gate 10 and Gate 6 with ease. Plus, we’ve added Gate 7 as a new entrance gate with two lanes in, and Gate 8 now has two lanes out for a quicker exit.
Pro Tip: If you’re heading to the fair via Shop Rd driving toward downtown, we recommend turning left on George Rogers Blvd and entering through either Gate 7 or Gate 10 for the fastest route in!
We prioritize guest safety. Gates may close if capacity is reached. If this happens, you may be able to find alternate parking at nearby locations that accommodate fair visitors.

Bus Drop-off Location
For an easy drop off, buses can stop at the North Gate on Rosewood Drive just past Gate 1 (close to the rocket). Although buses aren’t permitted to park in this area, drivers can pull up to the gate for an easy dismount.
