Fair Management Software Built for Fairs, Festivals & Community Events
Running a fair means managing far more than a schedule.
Registrations, entries, vendors, sponsors, competitions, payments, race events, food vendors, announcements, documents, staff, volunteers and thousands of visitors all have to work together.
Northpoint Fair Apps Core brings those tools together in one connected fair management software platform.
Instead of relying on separate apps, spreadsheets, paper forms and disconnected websites, your fair can manage its operations from one system while giving visitors a modern, mobile-friendly place to find everything they need.
One fair website. One management system. A complete set of connected fair apps.
A Complete Fair Website & Management System
Northpoint Fair Apps Core includes a complete website platform designed specifically for fairs, festivals, county events and fairgrounds.
Your public website can become the central place for visitors, vendors, competitors and staff to interact with the fair.
The system can include:
- Online registrations and competition entries
- Vendor and food vendor applications
- Sponsor registrations and packages
- Facility and space bookings
- Event calendars and schedules

Instead of managing the website separately from fair operations, Northpoint Fair Apps Core allows the website to become part of the management system itself.

Different staff members can be given access only to the tools they need.
For example:

Full system oversight.
Competition Coordinator
Manage registrations, classes and results.
Vendor Coordinator

Your fair does not disappear from the system when the gates close.

More Than Fair Software
Northpoint Fair Apps Core is built on a flexible WordPress-based platform.
That means your fair is not locked into a simple event app that disappears when the event ends.
Your organization can have:
A professional public website
plus
A private management system
plus
Specialized fair and racing apps
working together.
The result is one connected digital platform for the entire fair.
Built Around Your Fair
No two fairs operate exactly the same way.
A county fair with livestock, a demolition derby and food vendors has different needs than a community festival or motorsports event.
Northpoint Fair Apps Core can be configured around the events, departments and workflows your organization actually uses.
Start with a core website and registration system.
Then add modules such as:
- Fair Food Finder
- Vendor Management
- Competitions & Entries
- Fair Schedule
- Demolition Derby Timer
- Mower Race Tracker
- Go Kart Racing
- ATV/UTV Race Tracker
- Power Wheels Race Tracker
- Office Chair Race Controller
- Find My Crew
- Announcer Display
- Reports & Analytics
