Building and Grounds Rentals
The Monroe County Fairgrounds is available for rent during the majority of the year. Our calendar is easily accessed below or on our homepage. The fairgrounds are a great location for various types of events and is rented on a first come, first-served basis. With easy access to Highways 45, 48, 37 and I-69, along with a wide variety of buildings, campgrounds, and vast grassy areas, the fairgrounds makes a fantastic location for banquets, parties, small gatherings, family reunions, trade shows, conventions, or musical or theatrical performances. Parking is never a concern for most events and additional parking for larger events is an additional option.
