What To Know About The Kentucky Expo Center

In 2024, The U.S. Finals: Louisville heads to the Kentucky Expo Center in Louisville, Kentucky, a venue that already is familiar with the cheer and dance world. Among the other events being held, there is the 2024 edition of One Up Grand Nationals, scheduled for April 6-7.

The Kentucky Expo Center may not be the only cheer-hosting venue in town (the Kentucky International Convention Center also hosts events), but it certainly aims to be the best, boasting 1.2 million square feet of meeting space, 56 meeting rooms, two arenas, 300 acres of outdoor space and decades of experience hosting events.

After a long building process, the venue finally opened in 1956. It took $12 million and six years of work. 

In the years since the property has undergone many renovations and upgrades. It’s now the sixth-largest facility in the United States and home to the Kentucky State Fair and other important annual events.

The Kentucky Expo Center has welcomed many top musical acts over the years, was the longtime home of the University of Louisville men’s basketball team and continues to stay busy with a variety of trade shows and events.
