Fairgrounds are the site where a fair is held: the grandstand, exhibition hall, livestock barns and open midway lot together. The fair is the annual event that occupies the site for a set run of days. Many smaller events use a town common, school field or church grounds, which limits the grandstand and midway they can run.
