In 2018, The Fairgrounds Nashville began an ambitious project to reinvigorate the historic property by creating new exposition facilities, multi-use public recreation areas, and related infrastructure. In April 2019, the first phase of Fair Park, 23.2-acres of green space and greenway, was completed. In October 2019, The Fairgrounds Nashville formally opened its new exposition facility comprised of 132,747 square feet of indoor, conditioned space and 101,018 square feet of covered outdoor space. Located just 2 miles south of Nashville’s city center in the Wedgewood-Houston neighborhood, The Fairgrounds Nashville is a popular and versatile venue that can accommodate a wide variety of events including its nationally ranked monthly Nashville Flea Market, consumer shows, fundraisers, festivals, indoor and outdoor sports, and The Nashville Fair with ample parking. The property is home to the historic Fairgrounds Speedway in operation for over 115 years. Today’s track features a 0.596-mile, 18-degree banked paved oval and a 0.25-mile track. In 2018, plans for the addition of a 30,000-seat MLS stadium and 10-acre mixed-use development were approved. GEODIS Park construction began in early 2020 with play starting in 2022. Construction of improved infrastructure including new roadways, utilities, public plazas, additional greenway, public transportation shelter, and parking continues.
