The Georgia National Fairgrounds & Agricenter<br />

is a state-owned, multipurpose 1,100+ acre rental<br />

complex which is open year round. We house<br />

various horse and livestock shows, competitions,<br />

and commercial events. Since opening in 1990,<br />

the Georgia National Fairgrounds & Agricenter<br />

has stayed true to its mission of “Showcasing<br />

Georgia’s agriculture and agribusiness, promoting<br />

the agricultural achievements of Georgia’s young<br />

people, providing a center for diverse activities<br />

to benefit the state’s economy and to stage and<br />

promote a statewide fair to accomplish one or<br />

more of the above.”<br />

Our vision is to lead our industry through<br />

innovation and to constantly earn our reputation.<br />

The various fountains, ponds and landscapes<br />

offer the best of both worlds at this one of a<br />

kind facility. Be sure stop by today and see what<br />

events are taking place, the possibilities are<br />

endless! We look forward to seeing you here,<br />

where we take pride in Family, Traditions and<br />

Memories!<br />

The Georgia National Fairgrounds<br />

Family • Traditions • Memories<br />

The Georgia FFA members participate in events throughout the 11 days<br />

of the Georgia National Fair. These events range from showing livestock,<br />

floral design contest, FFA Rally Day, mini tractor pull contest, tree and<br />

plant ID contest and that’s just to name a few. They also design mini<br />

booth projects and enter their built projects for judging. The FFA<br />

makes a positive difference in the lives of students by developing<br />

their potential for premier leadership, personal growth and career<br />

success through agricultural education. All FFA members know that<br />

while they are “Learning to Do, Doing to Learn, Earning to Live,<br />

Living to Serve” they also bleed National Blue and Corn Gold!!<br />
