It seems to me that landuse=events is reasonable. Most of the places called fairgrounds where I am are used for other events other than the traditional once a year fair. There are often swap meets, animal shows, concerts, and other events held during the year. And the area often (always in my experience but I've not seen many) have amenities on the grounds like toilets, food concessions, etc.
Using event_space or event_place seems odd to me: And area already denotes a space or place. We don't say residential_place or industrial_place in our tags, so my preference would be for landuse=events. -Tod On Mar 9, 2014, at 2:04 PM, Antônio Marcos wrote: > I've never heard of "fairground", but it seems to be a quite specific tag > that could be substituted by or even inside the events area.
