Rockabillys to Host 2025 Jackson City Fair in August

Jackson, Tenn. - The Jackson Rockabillys today announced that the Jackson City Fair will take place this August 20-24 in the Rockabillys Stadium parking lots. This marks the first time that an event of this type will take place at the stadium, as the Rockabillys continue to bring various types of family entertainment to the area.

"In our promise to bring many various events and fun activities to the stadium, we were very excited when the folks from Universal Fairs approached us a few months ago about bringing their highly regarded fair to Jackson and utilizing our parking lots for everything associated with a great fair event. From Hot Air Balloon rides to everything that goes with a modern fair, Universal Fairs are bringing to all of us what will be a very memorable five-day experience here... The Jackson City Fair goes on!" noted Dennis Bastien, Rockabillys President and General Manager.

"The Jackson Rockabillys aren't just bringing baseball to our community – they're bringing energy, excitement, and now a fair that will give families even more reasons to come together and make memories right here in Jackson," said Jackson Mayor Scott Conger.
