There are over 18 acres of parking, a 12,000 square foot concert hall connected to a 4,800 square foot game area with pool tables, video games and Hoopla's Bar. The Expo Five provides the flexibility to self-sponsor events or to lease out the Expo Dome or the four-acre outdoor arena. Many promoters have succeeded far past their imagination. Success is determined by the attendance of any given program.
The competitive edge for most shows is the FREE advertising provided by the 8,000 to 15,000 weekend customers. The Derby Park Traders Circle Flea Market is a one of a kind and a must see.
Tickets for concerts can be purchased in advance at a discount price at the Flea Market, the Treasure Gallery, Hoopla's Bar and are also available at the door for regular admission prices. Weekend events (karaoke setups and local bands practicing on the Expo Five stage) during the Flea Market hours are generally free. We encourage self-promoters and anyone who have visions of prosperity and who can formulate their ideas to check out our calendar of events and open dates can be reserved.

About & History
EXPO FIVE is definitely a one of a kind venue for all types of functions!
Hospitality
The most important factor in business is making sure everyone is more than satisfied with the entire environment of the facilities.
Artists, Performers, Entertainers, Musicians, Comedians, Jugglers or anyone who may participate in the venue are treated as VIPs.
We may not be the Taj Mahal however we treat everyone to the best of our ability.
Vip's have the private usage of the restrooms & showers along with the available dressing rooms, private secured bus/ vehicle parking within the perimeter of the load in/load out docks, Wifi Internet, private entrance to the stage and ample space for merchandise sales.
If we dont have it and it's not unreasonable we can make it happen.
