What's New at the Vanderburgh County Fair Grandstand

If you're a regular at the fair, things are going to look a little different when visiting the Grandstand, thanks to a new rule shared today. In years past, it was common for visitors to arrive at the Grandstand early in the morning (or even the night before) to lay down blankets or tarps, or set up chairs to reserve space. However, things are a little different for 2025.

When Can You Reserve Grandstand Seating?

While you'll still be able to reserve space in the Grandstand, you won't be allowed to do so until after 10 am each day. According to a post on Facebook from the Vanderburgh County Fair, anything left at the end of each day will be removed.

How to Stay Updated on Fair News and Rules

According to the post, any items that are removed can be reclaimed by their owner. Those items will be available at the south end of the Grandstand. To find out more about the new policy and to keep up with the latest fair happenings, visit the Vanderburgh County Fair on Facebook.
