ABOUT US

The Southwestern Fair Commission, Inc., is a non-profit, private corporation, established in 1975 by Pima County to operate the fairgrounds and the Pima County Fair since the 1970’s.  Under the management agreement set forth by the Commission and Pima County, all profits earned from operations are put back into the facility for improvements.  Over the years, the commission has invested millions of dollars into the improvements of the facilities.

 

The facilities at the Pima County Fairgrounds include motorized event facilities that are subleased to Tucson Speedway, home of annual pavement racing events and Tucson Dragway, home of annual IHRA events.  Please visit their websites at TucsonSpeedway.com and www.TucsonDragway.com  for their schedule of events. In support of Pima County residents, the Southwestern Fair Commission, Inc. hosts the Tucson Kart Club along with the Southern Arizona Eventing Association at the Pima County Fairgrounds.

In the interest of increasing revenue at the Pima County Fairgrounds, the Southwestern Fair commission, Inc. has begun producing several events at the facility to include horse shows and music festivals.  These events have allowed us to be in a position to maximize the usage of the facility for year-round purposes.
