About Panhandle South Plains Fairgrounds
Welcome to Panhandle South Plains Fairgrounds, a multi-venue complex in Lubbock, Texas owned and operated by Lubbock County. Known as The Granddaddy of West Texas Fairs, this bustling fairgrounds campus hosts the annual Panhandle-South Plains Fair along with livestock shows, equestrian events, agricultural competitions, and a variety of exhibits across its livestock pavilion, exhibitors’ halls, fair park coliseum, and other spaces. We’ve got you covered with practical details to help you plan a smooth, stress-free visit—from parking and transit to nearby hotels and dining options.
Note: The fairgrounds comprise multiple venues with varying capacities and layouts. There isn’t a single seating chart published for all events; seating and capacity depend on the specific event area within the grounds. For any performance or show, secure your seats early through trusted channels and check the event page for current venue access instructions.
Getting to the Panhandle South Plains Fairgrounds is straightforward thanks to multiple parking lots surrounding the complex. In recent years, general admission parking has been available at a modest rate per vehicle.

When it comes to overnight stays, central-Lubbock options are plentiful—Cotton Court Hotel (1610 Broadway) and Overton Hotel & Conference Center (2322 Mac Davis Ln) are popular choices, offering convenient access to the fairgrounds, dining, and nightlife.
