The Porter County Expo is a conveniently located and easily accessible one of a kind multi-use facility with a rich history and a professional, experienced staff ready to assist you in your event planning!

The Porter County Expo was built in 1984 to serve the entire community all year around for a variety of events. The Expo is owned by Porter County government and is a self-sustaining venue in that it does not rely on taxpayer dollars for day to day operations.

Also in 1984, Porter County government entered into a lease agreement with the Porter County Agricultural Society (Fair Board) to hold the annual Porter County Fair on our grounds.

The Mission of the Porter County Expo is to showcase Porter County, maximize positive economic impact, and increase the quality of life by being the preferred venue for outdoor and indoor events and the Porter County Fair by offering reasonable and competitive rentals rates, clean and appealing grounds, and an experienced and friendly staff.

The Expo is operated by the Expo management and staff under the direction of the Porter County Board of Commissioners. With over 80 acres, including 10 different buildings, horse arena, and grandstand, the Porter County Expo has a wide variety of multi-use facilities that can accommodate a diverse array of events which attract over a quarter million visitors annually.
