Farmington Fairgrounds

Farmington

Village & gatheringClassic carsCustom motorcycles

What the source establishes

The official fair website documents a fairground, exhibition hall, and fairground map.

The ArtRide program match

Proposed daytime ArtRide base: separate parked motorcycle and classic-car exhibits, builder conversations, food vendors, and a makers and vintage-parts market.

Calendar constraint: its official site lists the 2027 fair for September 19–25. These are not ArtRide dates; setup, teardown, and other bookings still need checking.

Permission, safety & operating checks

Rental availability, event capacity, surface condition, pedestrian separation, toilets, fire lanes, trailer parking, amplified sound, permits, and insurance. No motor racing or track access is implied.

Research is not a site assessment.

Each card separates published venue information from our proposed use and the checks still needed. Contact the planning team to discuss a host idea; use the venue’s own website for current visitor information.
