Wilson County Fairgrounds / James E. Ward Agricultural Center

The Ward Agricultural Center is located within 650 miles of 75% of major U.S. markets, making it an easy, fun, and desirable destination. With convenient interstate access, mass transit into Nashville via the Music City Star commuter train, and 2,700+ hotel rooms currently available.

This municipally-owned, 260-acre property encompasses three flexible-use destinations: the Agricultural Complex, the Wilson County Exposition Center, and Fiddlers Grove Historic Village. Together, these properties host over 1 million visitors each year for outstanding special events.

Our grounds are home to the nationally acclaimed Wilson Country Fair, the largest county fair in Tennessee. With seven uniquely appointed buildings that can accommodate crowd sizes ranging from 45 to 350, four existing stages, multiple green spaces, and 2 ATMs onsite, our facilities can host multiple break-out sessions, competitions, and happenings as part of festivals, fairs, and other large events.
