Columbia County Fairgrounds

Columbia County Fairgrounds provides event space in Magnolia, Arkansas, for organisers seeking indoor facilities, outdoor grounds or a combination of the two. The site is best known as the home of the annual Columbia County Fair and Livestock Show, and it also makes selected grounds and buildings available for rental outside fair week.

The off-season facilities include around seven acres of grounds, the 7,500-square-foot Jamerson Building and a 10,000-square-foot commercial building with divided units. There is also an 8,000-square-foot pavilion with a stage, fans and bleacher seating, as well as a livestock show barn with pens and a show ring. These varied spaces give organisers options for gatherings that need open-air room, a covered pavilion, an exhibition-style layout or livestock facilities. The site also has a concession stand or cook shack, permanent restrooms and a large parking area.

During fair week, the fairgrounds offers commercial booth space and food vendor booths. The commercial building has 32 available units, while food booths come in different sizes and have electricity and water, or access to water. These options are aimed at vendors and exhibitors taking part in the fair rather than general catering or event production services.

An RV park is available, with spaces offering 50-amp electricity, city water and sewer connections, and nearby restrooms. Organisers can contact the fairgrounds to discuss off-season grounds or building hire, while vendors can enquire about booth availability and application requirements. With several distinct facilities on one site, the fairgrounds can accommodate a range of community, agricultural and other organised events.
