The organizer describes about 200,000 fairgoers across the ten-day festival. This is an undated historical benchmark, not a daily crowd or a 2026 forecast. Attendance source

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.
