Hundreds of Thousands Flock to North American International Livestock Exposition in November

Published: November 1, 2024 Updated: November 1, 2024

The green shavings are being dyed, the stalls are getting set, and the animals are being loaded up because the annual North American International Livestock Exposition is on the horizon. Beginning November 7, the Kentucky Exposition Center in Louisville, Kentucky, will welcome hundreds of thousands of national and international visitors to attend the largest purebred livestock show in the country. 

Excitement is building around our team, partners, and within the livestock community. This prestigious show is one people look forward to all year, and we are so close to kicking it off we can practically smell the fresh green shavings being spread in the rings. Eight different species and over 25,000 livestock entries will fill the Kentucky Exposition Center’s 1.2 million square feet of indoor space including two iconic arenas and be part of over 100 livestock shows.

Between the exciting livestock events, the adrenaline pumping North American Championship Rodeo presented by Rural 1st® returns to Freedom Hall November 14-16 and we’re expecting another year of sold-out shows. Don’t forget to show up early and visit the North American Country Store for the latest in western wear and seasonal items from 105 vendors. 

At this legendary exposition, we will recognize the commitment and growth of the industry and celebrate those who do so much to impact our daily lives and enhance our economy. Whether you call it “the North American,” “Louisville,” or “NAILE,” we’re ready for you. Visit livestockexpo.org for admission and ticket information.

Bring your best, and we’ll see you on the green shavings this November!
