Southeastern Livestock Pavilion SELP - Ocala, Florida

I have attended several events at the Southeastern Livestock Pavilion, and I must say this venue never disappoints! Most recently, I had the pleasure of attending the King of the Wing 2025 competition, and I couldn’t be happier that the organizers brought it back to this location.

The pavilion offers overhead coverage, which is a lifesaver from the intense Florida sun, making the event much more enjoyable. The hassle-free parking is another huge plus, ensuring a smooth arrival and departure. I also love how the layout of the venue makes navigating events so easy—at King of the Wing, the vendors were arranged in a U-shape around the pavilion, making it simple and convenient to make rounds and sample each contender’s wings without backtracking or getting lost in a crowd.

This location is truly one of the best in the area for hosting large events, and I look forward to attending many more in the future! Highly recommend!

This is a great location, and the owners empower Habitat for Humanity and the Shriners to host fundraising rodeos every year. The facility is very nice. It is the nicest rodeo facility I have ever attended. The concessions are great! Also, I was afraid to use a public restroom at a “livestock pavilion,” but when nature calls… I was amazed by the cleanliness and decor of the women’s restrooms. This place is the best!!

We went to the annual plant expo. It was $3 to enter and parking was free. There was a wide variety of plants, pots and decorative items for gardens. It was a really fun experience. The prices were reasonable and I found lithops that I had been looking for as well as a few other succulents. There were food trucks also.

Went for the tractor pull. Great fun for all, raw horse power and torque. Very loud inside the pavilion. There was plenty of good food and a good time.

The number one complaint and overwhelming issue will be the heat!!!
There are no brick and mortar buildings here so the tent was set up and inside they had zero air conditioning, very limited fans, hundred of people, fire, food service areas all of which made it almost unbearable at times.
We had a few laughs and a few moments of enjoyablity but all in all this was a first (and last) indoor event at this location

The auditorium is an amazing venue for events. Tables and chairs are included. There is a full kitchen with two ovens and an ice machine. The event room is huge and fits 250 people easily. There is a foyer that is perfect for setting up ticket tables and photo booths.

Everything is wheelchair accessible. There are two family bathrooms that are wheelchair accessible. No steps anywhere in the building or outside. The sidewalks are flat and easily maneuvered with a wheelchair or stroller.

Came to see the rodeo on 03/19/22. The event was sold out, considering that, wait times for the lines I went through were not too bad. Restrooms were not disgusting and still had paper towels halfway through the event. I liked the parking setup as well, didn't have to walk too far. We are looking forward to returning to future events.

Be very careful of the first bleacher. For some unknown reason, they have a step to the first seat. So this platform runs the entire way unmarked and the same color as the floor. I started for the first stair up the bleachers, and fell, tripping on this. I'm 69, had a knee replacement last fall, doing great, and this happened. Needless to say my night was ruined. The short time I was able to watch the tractor pull was great.
