One of the top 10 largest public facilities of its kind in the United States, the Kentucky Exposition Center features large facilities with diverse capabilities. The 400-acre property offers more than one million square feet of indoor space including Freedom Hall, an indoor arena which seats over 19,000 people. The expo center accommodates an amazing spectrum of events year round and remains the permanent home for the Kentucky State Fair, the National Farm Machinery Show, and the North American International Livestock Exposition.

The Kentucky Exposition Center and the Kentucky International Convention Center in downtown Louisville, are operated by the Kentucky State Fair Board, an agency of the Kentucky Tourism, Arts and Heritage Cabinet.

Offering large facilities with diverse capabilities, the Kentucky Exposition Center remains one of the top ten exposition venues in the United States. The over one million square feet of contiguous, climate-controlled exhibit and meeting space - all on one level - will accommodate all shapes and sizes of events.

Over 73,000 visitors can pour into the facility's two arenas and stadium simultaneously while meetings commence in the 35 meeting rooms. The 600 seat auditorium can host a more intimate gathering while 300 acres of outdoor demonstration areas provide plenty of wide open spaces. Don't forget about the outdoor championship-size covered equestrian/livestock arena which comes equipped with over 1,000 permanent horse stalls and an additional 720 temporary stalls. The 19,000 lighted parking spaces keeps visitors close to the action and the on-site full-service concession and catering services fulfill a wide variety of dining needs.

Located in Louisville, Kentucky, the facility maintains prime position among three major interstates: I-65, I-71, and I-64 (making it within a days drive of more than half of the nation's population). Furthermore, the Louisville International Airport is only five minutes away and 13,000 hotel rooms surround the area, ready to accommodate visitors to the River City.

There are over 19,000 parking spaces at the Kentucky Exposition Center (including temporary ones). For events in Freedom Hall or West Wing, we recommend parking in Lots E or J (located on either side of Cardinal Stadium) which you can access from the Circle of Champions. Lot N (in front of the West Hall) and Lot A (in front of the South Wings) are open for visitor parking. Freedom Way is also open to traffic from the Circle of Champions (Ring Road) and the main gate.
