Map and parking
The fairgrounds are located around the Frost Bank Center and Freeman Coliseum on the East Side of San Antonio.
The carnival takes up a parking lot northeast of the Frost Bank Center, while the rest of the festival is northwest of the Freeman Coliseum. A walkway between cattle and livestock barns links the two areas.
The Freeman Coliseum will have daily arena events, the Expo Hall will feature shopping and a petting zoo, and the livestock barns will showcase competitive events.
