Carlisle Events to Host “On the Spot” Hiring Job Fair February 27-28

Feb 11, 2026, 09:47 AM by Mike Garland

As warmer weather returns to central Pennsylvania (eventually), so does the seasonal excitement that comes with live automotive events at the Carlisle PA Fairgrounds.  To support another busy year of automotive excellence in Carlisle, Carlisle Events is preparing to grow its seasonal workforce and will host a two-day job fair on February 27–28 at its office within the fairground’s fence line.

Carlisle Events typically employs approximately 200 part-time team members each year and is inviting prospective applicants to explore a wide range of opportunities during the job fair.  Hours for the event run Friday, February 27 from 8 AM to 7 PM. and Saturday, February 28 from 8 AM to 3 PM.  The job fair is open to individuals 14 years of age and older.

Applicants can apply in person for a variety of roles, including overnight security support, sanitation, show car parking, and more.  Many positions offer flexible scheduling, with most work concentrated around event weekends as well as show setup and teardown periods between April and October.  Conditional on-the-spot hiring may occur.  Candidates are encouraged to bring two forms of identification and be prepared to complete an application during their visit.  A criminal background check will be conducted prior to any formal employment offer.  Applications are also available online at CarlisleEvents.com/careers.

The Carlisle PA Fairgrounds is located at 1000 Bryn Mawr Road, just off Route 34 on the north side of Carlisle.  Attendees should turn at the traffic light at the intersection of K Street and Carlisle Springs Road and enter at Gate 3 of the fairgrounds, then follow posted signage directing them to the Job Fair/hiring center.

In addition to working in a high-energy, live event environment surrounded by some of the most unique vehicles in the world, seasonal employees may enjoy a variety of perks, including:

  • Free admission to Carlisle Events shows before or after scheduled shifts
  • A complimentary employee meal during each shift (up to an $8 value)
  • Free snacks and beverages while working
  • A provided work shirt and hat
  • Convenient on-site FREE parking
  • An annual employee appreciation event
  • Potential flexible scheduling options
  • Competitive wages

These positions are ideal for students seeking their first job experience, retirees looking to stay active, or anyone interested in part-time seasonal work.  Applicants must meet minimum age requirements and, if currently enrolled in school, provide appropriate work permits once hired.

The first major event of the Carlisle Events season is Spring Carlisle, paired with the Spring Carlisle Collector Car Auction powered by Carlisle Auctions. Spring Carlisle takes place April 22–26 at the fairgrounds, while the auction runs April 23–24 at the neighboring Carlisle Expo Center. Additional event details and schedules can be found at CarlisleEvents.com.  For job fair-specific questions, interested applicants may call 717-243-7855, extension 111.
