Carson Park

An array of events fill the grandstand and fairgrounds of Carson Park each year! This includes the annual McCracken County Fair, a Paducah tradition, the Antique Gas & Steam Engine Show featuring nearly 800 antique gasoline and steam-powered engines and, in 2021, Touchdowns & Tunes Tailgate Party.

Carson Park also provides a venue to experience the unbridled spirit of Kentucky’s legendary horse culture.

Training and stabling facilities at the park provide an outlet to elevate your equestrian skills and house your horses while in Paducah.
