Schedules, favorites, and reminders
Organize concerts, livestock shows, competitions, demonstrations, rodeos, and family activities by day, category, and location. Favorites help guests build a personal plan; reminders may be available depending on the selected package and device settings.
Maps and wayfinding
Label entrances, parking, stages, barns, restrooms, first aid, accessibility services, food areas, and sponsor activations. Connect listings with locations when supported, and verify every pin by walking the grounds.
Food, vendors, and exhibitors
Use concise descriptions, useful categories, hours, and accurate locations. Dietary or allergen information should come from vendors and be clearly qualified. Link naturally between food discovery, shopping, exhibits, and the map.
Alerts and changing information
Prepare short templates for weather, parking, schedule, and safety changes. Push notifications and targeted messaging depend on package capabilities, device permission, and connectivity, so keep critical information current in the app and other official channels.
Sponsors and partner value
Recognize sponsors without obscuring attendee tasks. Depending on the package, placements may include listings, banners, map locations, offers, or sponsored content. Agree on assets, destinations, and reporting expectations before launch.
Accessibility and visitor information
Make accessibility services easy to find. Include accessible entrances and parking, mobility information, sensory resources, service-animal policies, guest services, first aid, hours, tickets, and transportation details. Use readable contrast, meaningful labels, and alternative text.
Prepare for limited connectivity
Fairgrounds can strain mobile networks. Encourage guests to install or open the experience before arrival and clearly explain which content is available offline. Keep essential gate, emergency, and accessibility information concise and available through backup channels.
