again in the US, state and county fairgrounds are permanent
facilities<br>
which function as event space when the fair is not actually
going on.<br>
the midway is usually temporary, but the buildings for, say,<br>
agricultural exhibits are permanent, as is the race track
(at many<br>
fairs), which might be for horses or cars.<br>

<div>As Phil said for the UK, in Australia they are
Showgrounds, with just about every country town having their
own.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As per your description, the show is usually only on for
one weekend a year, but there are permanent buildings &
facilities on site, & the area is frequently used as a
caravan / tourist park for the rest of the year.</div>

<p>In Australia:<br>
</p>
<p>"The Show" (where ever it is) as Graeme says, is once a year for
a week or two. However other events are also held at the same
venue. <br>
</p>
<p>For example via a quick web search, the Mt Isa Show 1 week per
year in June, Mt Isa Roedo 1 week per year in August, Mt Isa Motor
Show and Swap Meet 1 day per year in August and there are others.

<p>Presently in OSM as a recreation ground as Way: Buchannan Park
Racecourse 455194137. I would assume racing takes place here as
well as the above 'shows'. <br>

<div>The few I've just checked are currently tagged with a
mixture of either leisure=park or landuse=recreation_ground.
Personally, of the two options, I'd prefer rec. ground,
which I notice a few of your samples were also tagged as.</div>
