Georgia National Schoolhouse

The Georgia National Schoolhouse application is now closed for 2023. We will begin accepting applications for the 2024 Georgia National Fair in Summer 2024.

Thank you!

The Georgia National Fair field trips offer a first-hand look at agriculture outside of the classroom! We encourage students from the state of Georgia to come attend our livestock shows, award-winning stories of agriculture displays and the Georgia Grown Exhibits.

Once your class has been registered and approved we will mail you a teacher’s packet with information, along with instructions on where to park and enter the Fairgrounds. We will have Volunteers at the North Gate Entrance to assist in checking-in your class. All field trips are self-guided and at your own pace.
