Hernando County Fairgrounds
6436 Broad St, Brooksville, FL, 34601
The Hernando County Fairgrounds sits on Broad Street in Brooksville and serves as the county's fairgrounds and outdoor event venue. It holds a 4.2-star average across more than 670 Google reviews. The anchor event is the Hernando County Fair, held every spring in the second half of April. The 2026 fair ran April 24 through May 2, and the 2025 fair ran April 18 through 26, so a run of roughly nine days in late April is the pattern to expect. Reviewers describe rides, food, and vendor booths. The rest of the calendar is where the grounds earn their reputation. Reviewers mention demolition derbies, fireworks, and monster truck shows more than anything else. The venue has also hosted rodeos and touring productions, including the Cirque Ma'Ceo equestrian show. There are no set daily hours. The fairgrounds open for whatever is scheduled, and event announcements are posted to the venue's Facebook page. Two other businesses operate at the same address: HIppo Events, a consignment shop, and Nomi Health, a medical clinic.
