DROP-OFF / PICK-UP GATE FOR NON-SHUTTLE RIDERS
Fairgoers can be dropped off and picked up at the Northwest Gate located on North Park Drive (by the midway). As a reminder, North Park Drive is a 2-lane, one-way street the week of the fair.
PARKING AT THE FAIRGROUNDS
Unless participating in a motorsports event, fairgoers should enter via Grand Avenue.
Grand Avenue is a one-way during the fair, starting at the Veterans Drive intersection.
Use 400 Grand Avenue, Washington, MO 63090 in your GPS for the best route to the Fair!
General parking is free and is available in the Eckelkamp Lot west of the fairgrounds (left off of Grand). There is also very LIMITED parking in the Miller Lot northwest of the fairgrounds (take Grand-North Park-Bernhard left off of Bernhard). We highly recommend using the FREE shuttle or parking in the Eckelkamp Lot.
Handicap Parking is available near the West Gate. Handicap Parking will require a state-issued handicap license plate or placard. To enter Handicap Parking, fairgoers will take Grand Avenue to a right on Veterans Drive, and then left into the Handicap Parking lot.
