About Johnson County Fairgrounds - KS
Welcome to the Johnson County Fairgrounds in Gardner, Kansas — a historic, multi-building venue established in 1939 that hosts the annual Johnson County Fair alongside a variety of arena events, exhibitions, and concerts. With a Grandstand and Livestock Pavilion, the fairgrounds offer flexible seating options for different events, including General Admission, Grandstand seating, and ADA-accessible seating tailored to each show. While there isn’t a single permanent seating chart published for all events, our team helps you secure the best available seats for the event you’re attending. Whether you’re coming to a demolition derby, rodeo, or a headlining concert such as Fairgrounds Fest, we’ve got you covered with trustworthy guidance and easy ticketing.
Getting there is straightforward. The venue sits at 136 E Washington St, Gardner, KS 66030, and is well-served by Johnson County’s RideKC public transit routes. On-demand micro transit is also available in the area for flexible trips to and from the fairgrounds. Parking is typically available on-site or nearby; check the specific event page for parking instructions and any fees. After the show, consider nearby accommodations like Hampton Inn Gardner Conference Center or Super 8 Gardner for convenient lodging. If you’re planning meals or a quick bite before or after an event, there are several local dining options in Gardner. There’s no renovation or renaming noted for the venue, which continues to operate as the Johnson County Fairgrounds, hosting fairs, rodeos, and music events year after year.
