1 outing for this day

Daily hours vary (Central/CST)

opening day 4:00 PM

November 15, 1:00–6:00 PM

Dothan, AL · A ten-day Wiregrass harvest celebration with livestock, agricultural exhibits, midway rides, country concerts and a downtown parade.

Location
National Peanut Festival Fairgrounds
Admission
Advance one-day gate ticket $9 for November 6–14; opening-day gate $11. Rides and some concerts cost extra. $38 advance MegaPass includes one-day entry and an unlimited-ride armband. November 15 ride-day package $33.
Suitability
Family event; check each ride’s height and safety requirements.

Booking: Buy through the organizer’s Tickets & Deals page. The $38 MegaPass advance sale ends November 5; it is valid for one day, not the entire festival. Concert seating and fairground admission are separate purchases where applicable. Check current totals before paying.

Restrictions: November 15 is midway rides, Kiddieland and midway concessions only, not the full exhibit program. Clear bags may be no larger than 12 × 6 × 12 inches; check the organizer’s item rules before leaving.

Travel alert: Dothan uses Central time, one hour behind Georgia. The November 14 parade is downtown, not at the fairgrounds.

Location & visitor notes

Where: National Peanut Festival Fairgrounds · 5622 Highway 231 South, Dothan, AL 36301

Accessibility: The organizer lists accessible routes and placard parking; follow entrance signs or ask staff. Contact 334-793-4323 for individual access needs. Some communication accommodations require two weeks’ notice.

Choose the day for the activity you want. The fairgrounds and the November 14 downtown Dothan parade are separate locations. The organizer describes historical attendance of about 200,000 across a complete ten-day festival; that is not a daily count or a 2026 forecast.

Updates are not instant. When we withdraw a listing, a cancellation entry removes it from subscribed calendars; that alone does not mean the organizer canceled the event.

About these calendar dates

An all-day entry may be a date reminder rather than opening hours. Check the organizer before travelling. This is a selected local guide.

A recurring tradition does not guarantee the same date next year. New occurrences need a dated source before they enter the calendar.
