again in the US, state and county fairgrounds are permanent facilities
which function as event space when the fair is not actually going on.
the midway is usually temporary, but the buildings for, say,
agricultural exhibits are permanent, as is the race track (at many
fairs), which might be for horses or cars.
As Phil said for the UK, in Australia they are Showgrounds, with just
about every country town having their own.
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.
In Australia:
"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.
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.
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'.
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.
Thanks
Graeme
