Kentucky Exposition Center Now Offering Annual Parking Pass and More Ways to Save
The Kentucky Exposition Center has just announced new ways to save on parking. Starting today, visitors can purchase an Annual Parking Pass at a special early bird rate of $75, available until December 25, 2024. The price will increase to $99 through January 31, 2025, then rise to $129 in February. A limited number of passes are available at each tier and pricing will increase to the next tier after the max number of passes are sold.
Each pass is valid from the date of receipt through the calendar year indicated on the pass. Early bird purchasers can even use their 2025 pass through the end of 2024, offering another reason to attend upcoming events at the Kentucky Exposition Center. The 2025 Annual Parking Pass allows free in/out parking for one standard vehicle at nearly every event held at the Kentucky Exposition Center, including the Kentucky Venues produced Kentucky State Fair, National Farm Machinery Show, and North American International Livestock Exposition. The only blocked-out dates where the pass does not cover parking are during the Danny Wimmer Presents music festivals (Bourbon & Beyond and Louder Than Life). The pass does not include event admission.

Other Parking Changes Coming in 2025
Other parking changes coming to the Kentucky Exposition Center include how visitors can purchase single-time entry. Starting January 1, 2025, visitors can only purchase single-time entry parking passes online here for $12. Visitors who choose to purchase on-site will need to purchase an in/out parking pass for $15, allowing them to leave and return to the property within the same day. The in/out parking pass was first offered at select events starting in 2022 and has been the preferred pass by visitors throughout events held in 2024. Tax is included in all at-the-gate parking prices. These changes aim to reduce gate wait times and improve traffic flow.
The Kentucky Exposition Center, through $472 million in planned expansion & renovation projects, is also enhancing its infrastructure to ensure faster entry. New designs for Gates 2 and 4 will feature expanded lanes and improved traffic flow, along with a new roundabout at the intersection of Circle of Champions and Gate 4 Drive.
