A private, not-for-profit organization dedicated to enriching our community by
promoting education and South Florida agriculture while showcasing and rewarding
youth achievement. We accomplish this by producing a first-class event, The Fair™,
with quality entertainment and providing facilities & resources for year-round events.
The Fair™
Ranked the largest fair in Florida, The Fair™ celebrates its 59th year in the spring of
2010. The Fair™ is an 18-day event from March 25th – April 11th which includes rides,
games, food and live entertainment.
The Fair™ is working towards a greener, cleaner experience by saving cleaner air, fuel
sources and soil for future generations.
