Why people stay in Robertson County Fairgrounds

The Robertson County Fairgrounds sits on the east side of Springfield off TN-49, and the immediate area has grown into an unofficial event district. The county fair each August is the anchor event and draws crowds from three states, but the fairgrounds also host livestock shows, tractor pulls, gun shows, and the occasional concert throughout the year. Two motels and a scattering of restaurants have grown up along the TN-49 approach to serve event visitors.

Stay here if you have business at the fairgrounds — it's the closest lodging by five minutes over downtown Springfield. Otherwise, downtown Springfield is a better base for the same money. During the county fair (second week of August) rates double and every room in the county fills up. Book eight months out for fair week. Suits event-attendees, exhibitors, and rural-culture-curious visitors specifically.

Two motels within a mile of the fairgrounds entrance, $75-$105 range outside event weeks. Both are functional rather than charming. Book by phone during event weeks — online availability lies more often than not when the fair is on. Downtown Springfield motels are only five minutes further and often better-maintained; consider them unless you specifically need fairgrounds proximity.

Questions about Robertson County Fairgrounds

When is the Robertson County Fair?

Second week of August, running Monday through Saturday. Livestock shows and 4-H events run all week; the midway and concerts are the evening draws. Book lodging by January if you’re planning to attend — every room in Robertson County fills up.

Is the fairgrounds area worth visiting outside of event weeks?

Only if there's a specific event you’re attending. Outside of events the area is quiet and offers no particular reason to base here versus downtown Springfield. Check the fairgrounds' event calendar before booking.
