YubigoGrow Your Fair
Trip planning before they arrive, navigation while they explore, and analytics long after they leave.
How We Work With Fairs
We start by learning yours.
Every fair has a story. Some stretch back generations; others are just writing their first chapter. What your community cares about, how the grounds come together, where the journey is headed. That's the groundwork. What we deliver carries your name, your voice, and the story of your event, season after season.
Yubigo is the county and state fair app built around that story. Fairgoers open it with a QR code, with nothing to download, and getting started is fast, simple, and requires almost nothing from your side.
Visitor Experience
From first glance to looking forward to next year.
It starts before they arrive. From any phone or browser, your visitors plan their visit by browsing vendors, checking the schedule, and saving what they want to see. They show up oriented instead of overwhelmed.
On the grounds, an interactive map and live schedule are always at their fingertips, no app required. They search for what they're craving and get walking directions to it. Curated groups like “New Foods” or “Kid-Friendly Rides” put the right vendors in front of the right visitors. And if severe weather moves in, an alert from the National Weather Service reaches their phone automatically.

It’s like Google Maps but for everything at the fair!
Sponsors & Vendors
Part of the experience, not an afterthought.
Sponsors show up where your visitors already are: on the map, alongside the vendors and attractions they came to see. No separate page to skip past, no banner to dismiss. They're part of the experience, acknowledged instead of avoided. After the event, you can hand each sponsor a report showing how your fairgoers engaged with their brand, the proof they need to say yes again next year.
Visitors don't just find vendors. They connect with them. They discover them on the map, tap through to their social profiles, and follow them long after the gates close. Every vendor listing is a storefront that keeps working.
Upload your existing vendors and sponsors and send them links to complete their own profiles. Your team can review and edit anything, any time. Simple for them, easy for you.

Reports & Insights
The story behind the numbers.
Know what your fairgoers loved, what they searched for, and what brought them back. Reports are ready as soon as the fair wraps up, with narrative insights, not just numbers. One for your team, and one you can generate for each sponsor. Delivered in PDF and presentation format, ready for your board meeting or sponsor conversation.
Your fairgoers are surveyed right in the app, at a natural moment while the experience is still fresh. No survey staff, no clipboards, no guesswork.

Simple by Design
It meets you where you are, not the other way around.
Yubigo is ready before the fair opens, running while the fair is live, and still at hand after the last truck pulls out. Everything is available from day one. How far you explore is entirely up to you. Take full ownership or let us handle the heavy lifting. Either way, it's there when you need it and out of the way when you don't.
No app to download. No beacons. No hardware. No visitor contact information required. Your fair's own branded experience (your name, your logo, your colors), not a listing inside someone else's app. Yours to update whenever you want.
Built to fit into your process, not replace it. Advanced technology that anyone on your team can use.
Pricing That Works in Your Favor
Priced per event. Sized to your grounds, not your guest count.
- Sized by the placements on your map (your vendors and amusements) and the level of support you choose.
- Never penalized for your event’s success. Whether 20,000 or 2 million come through the gate, attendance isn’t an input to your price.
- Every feature at every size. No caps on map pins, list items, admin seats, or storage.
- Setup is charged once, the first time your venue comes on, and never again.
- Platform access is always free. No annual subscription, no attendance ceiling, no per-feature add-ons.
Bring your vendor and amusement counts and we'll size it in one conversation: a firm number, before you sign.
Researching options? Our Fair Platform Buyer’s Guide covers what to look for and the questions to ask, and what a fair app costs compares pricing models, including what a tiered app builder costs once it matches everything included here.
Cultivated by the Fair Industry
Built for every fair, not scaled down from something else.
We're members of the IAFE and NCAOAF because we believe in showing up where the conversations happen, from national conferences to regional roundtables. Whether your fair draws 15,000 fairgoers or 1.5 million, the platform is shaped by that full range of experience.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from fair managers and administrators.
Yes. The platform is designed to work offline-first: once your visitors load it, it keeps working even with poor cell coverage. We test and optimize for high-traffic environments before your fair opens.
It should reduce it. When your fairgoers can find what they need on their phones, fewer questions land at information booths. Visitor surveys run right in the app, so no one has to walk the grounds with a clipboard. Vendors and sponsors fill in their own information through a simple form, your team can review and edit anything, and the platform handles the rest.
Fully. The platform is white-labeled: your visitors see your fair’s name, logo and colors up front, and the reports you generate carry your fair’s name and logo. We build the experience around your brand.
Reports are ready as soon as the fair wraps up, not weeks later. You generate a detailed report and a presentation deck covering visitor engagement, platform adoption, vendor activity, navigation patterns, and sponsor visibility. You can also generate a custom report for each sponsor, tailored to their investment, so they can see the value firsthand. Both are designed to inform next year’s decisions while the event is still fresh.
No. Your visitors never create an account or have to share personal details. No email is required (they can choose to email themselves their plan). A random, anonymous identifier is stored on their device to keep their favorites and plan between sessions, and it’s never linked to their identity. Location is only used with explicit browser permission and only while the app is open. No background tracking, no advertising, no data sold to third parties.
* If your event uses the optional safety feature, a visitor's phone number is sent to designated emergency contacts. It is never stored by Yubigo.
Most fair technology is adapted from concerts, festivals, or generic venue tools. Yubigo is built specifically for fairs. Our Fair Platform Buyer's Guide breaks down what to look for, questions worth asking, and how the options compare, including Yubigo.
Share a few details about your fair and we’ll walk you through it. We handle the build: your map, your vendors, your schedule. Your team reviews and approves before anything goes live. Most fairs are up and running well before opening day with almost no effort on their end.
No. Platform access is always free. There’s no annual subscription. Yubigo is priced per event, based on the placements on your map and the level of support you choose. You pay a one-time setup the first time your venue comes on, then an event fee for each event you run. Run one event a year or five: you only ever pay for the events you actually hold.
Updates can be published at any time: vendor changes, schedule adjustments, or last-minute additions. New visitors see changes right away, and fairgoers already on your grounds are prompted to refresh within minutes. No reinstalling, no waiting until tomorrow.
