The theme for this year's Florida State Fair is "1st Place for Fun" and the fair runs from February 6th through February 17th. This 110th Florida State Fair is the first state fair of the year in the country. The old favorites are back - learn about
Florida history in "Cracker Country", watch the livestock shows and
horse shows, and get new craft ideas at the Arts and Crafts Showcase. In
addition, there are many free special attractions and daily shows,
including:
- Florida Cattlemen’s Exhibit
- Florida's Learning Garden
- Concerts and Entertainment
- Mounted Police Training and Demo
- NockAir FMX Flying Motorcycle Extreme Show
