ST. GEORGE — The Iron County Fairgrounds have been home to Southern Utah’s annual Iron County Fair and other local events for generations. Iron County has recently taken ownership of the fair property in its entirety, whereas in the past Parowan City owned a large portion of the land.
Under its new full ownership, Iron County wishes to make the public aware that the fairground facilities are not just for county fair use and city/county-sponsored events; use of the fairground facilities – from the exhibit building and outdoor arena to horse stalls, the outdoor pavilion, snack shack and even the parking lots – has been expanded for public booking.
“We want the community to know that the fairgrounds aren’t just for the county fair. This is a perfect setting for weddings, family reunions, conventions, expos and other events,” said Iron County Fair Director Jamilyn Evans in a news release. “Rental of the fairgrounds is also very reasonably priced, especially in comparison with standard wedding venues and other facilities that cost thousands of dollars for only a couple of hours of access.”
With rental pricing beginning at just $10 per day for certain facilities and ranging up to $250 or $400 per day and $1,250 or $2,000 per week for the exhibit building (depending on occupation size), the Iron County fairgrounds serve up a viable, affordable option for those looking to host events, the news release said.
“We are glad to accommodate birthday parties, conferences – you name it,” Evans said. “Whether it’s a small, private event or a large convention, the fairgrounds are an outstanding option.”
The exhibit building also has dual-purpose use for indoor basketball, pickleball and other recreational activities for which community members can rent the space.
