The Fairgrounds Nashville

The fairgrounds themselves honestly need some work organization wise especially in the parking area but the exhibit buildings were clean and the security basically on point. They are also extremely hot and absolutely stuffy. The stage performance from the WOE exhibit was great! They were five stars and a half. It takes a special team to do what they do under the amount of fatigue involved with traveling like they do. Each performance unique and they ladies the star attractions. There were plenty of vendors and very unusual art to appreciate as well as tattoos and art classes. Very little food vendors but the Mooshine Chocolate Co had some excellent options of the sweet variety and great service.

Went to the Nashville lawn and garden show this morning lines were not bad. The displays are great. There was also a lot of good vendors. Also this is the first event I have been to since Covid that I actually went without a mask. They do have them at the door if you need them and I did see a few people but for the most part it was mask free. I felt pretty safe but I have had all three vaccines.

Danny and the guy on the mini bus/golf cart..(sorry, dont know name) ….was AMAZING this past weekend going the extra mile to accommodate our 44’ trailer! Thank you for making our experience at your venue wonderful! 🥰

The guy at the main entrance to the Expo center wouldn’t let my husband just drop me off or tell us where handicap parking was (or if there even was one). I have a back injury that is awaiting surgery in 3 months. Instead of being able to spend what little energy and limited pain-free walking I have enjoying the event with my family, I was forced to waste it walking 1/2 mile to the event and spend the rest of the time sitting on a bench. It costs absolutely NOTHING to let someone be dropped off. Not all of us have the luxury of being able to walk so far.

We went for the Christmas market. Lots of vendors all selling china products. A lot of food vendors selling their candy and sauces. Good but pricey. There was a lot of Christian items to purchase which was refreshing. Parking is ample but be prepared to walk. This is a good ladies date day. I was expecting more handmade items that is why I gave it 3 stars and the unnecessary entrance fee. Food trucks were available and I would eat elsewhere next time.

One of the best for markets we have been to in a long time!!!! Plan for the whole day though, this place is jam packed!!!

Went to the sumo and sushi event at the fairgrounds and had a blast! 10$ cash parking is required, so make sure to have some money on hand.

Visited the fairgrounds for swapmeet February 2, 2025. We arrived 7:30 am parked a 1/2 mile from the swap meet. A shuttle bus was provided to bring us to the building where the vendors are located. We walked around until 10:30 then headed to the ticket booths where the shuttle dropped us off. To our surprise and dismay we were told "We are sorry there are no shuttles back to the parking area". Elizabeth a nice girl on traffic control told us there was a issue and the fairground didn't provide the transportation back. If you plan on attending a event call the fairgrounds before you go especially if you have trouble walking.
