Facility Rental Building Specs

The Benton County Fairgrounds and Expo Center has everything you need to make your next event successful and memorable. Located on a 60-acre park-like campus and near the Northwest Arkansas National Airport in Bentonville, we have over 125,000 square feet of event space both indoors and outdoors, including an outdoor music stage, a covered equestrian center with seating for 1,200 people, meeting facilities with seating for 600 to 1200 people, and a variety of pens for livestock including cattle ties and horse stalls. In addition, we have over 25 RV hookups with water and electric and a covered/lighted pavilion for food truck and concessions, versatile for a variety of gatherings.

We are proud to be home of the Benton County Fair, Vintage Market Days, Benton County Sheriff’s Cops and Costumes, Horse/Livestock Shows and dozens of cultural celebrations, private family gatherings as well as corporate and community events supporting Sharing and Caring, Farm Bureau, Farm Credit and Benton County 4H events.

Funds from facility rental help fuel our Benton County Fair mission and help us maintain our facilities so you can feel good about doing business with us. Together, we are enhancing the quality of life in Northwest Arkansas and supporting youth development.
