About Venue

The Greater Baton Rouge State Fair began in 1965 when two existing Baton Rouge Jaycee Projects - a Trade Show and a Carnival - were combined. The first fair was held on the Bon Marche parking lot. From there it moved to the old Downtown Airport (now the site of Independence Park), then to the vacant land at the corner of Airline Highway and Florida Boulevard (now Cortana Mall). The current fair location, the 100-acre fairgrounds on Airline Highway, was purchased in 1972 and the first fair on the property was held in 1973. Used for one month of the year to hold the Fair, this property is now part of the 150-acre BREC Airline Highway Park/Fairgrounds.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Greater Baton Rouge State Fair is operated by an all-volunteer Fair Board with the help of a number of dedicated volunteers. Monies raised by the Fair are used to fund youth-oriented Worthy Causes in the Greater Baton Rouge area with over $1,500,000 being returned to the community in the years since 1987.

General Information
The fair is held at the BREC Airline Highway Park/Fairgrounds,16072 Airline Hwy., Baton Rouge, LA 70809, and has an office at that location beginning two weeks prior to the fair until the day after the fair closes.
