Exhibitor Parking

- Arrive early! Exhibitors who arrive at World Ag Expo show grounds before 7 a.m. each day encounter less traffic and find a parking space closer to their exhibit area.
- No exhibitor parking passes are available for 2010. Parking for exhibitors is in all parking areas on the north, south and east sides of the World Ag Expo site, on a first-come priority. Arrive early to avoid public traffic. After traffic gets heavy, Tulare P.D. directs cars to the most convenient parking (not necessarily closest to your exhibit) to avoid traffic backup onto U.S. Highway 99.
- Park trucks and trailers in the designated eastern-most areas of the expo site.
- Exhibitor Registration Center parking is through Gate A at Gate 6.
Northern Exhibit Grounds
If you exhibit in the NORTH HALF of the exhibit grounds (including Pavilion A, B or C), enter through GATE A. The easiest way to do that is to come southbound on Laspina Street or enter Laspina Street southbound from Mooney Boulevard (a feeder boulevard from Visalia). Enter the eastern-most lanes of Laspina Street and easily turn into GATE A.
Southern Exhibit Grounds
If you exhibit in the SOUTH HALF of the exhibit grounds (including Farm Credit Dairy Center, Farm Home Arts or Pavilion D), enter through GATE C. The easiest way to do this is to come northbound on Laspina Street or enter Laspina Street southbound from Paige Avenue and stay in the western-most lanes until you get to GATE C.
Eastern Exhibit Grounds
If you exhibit in the EAST HALF of the exhibit grounds, park by entering the east entrance off of Turner Drive. You may enter Turner Drive from Mooney Boulevard (a feeder boulevard from Visalia).
