🎡 FAIR INFORMATION

2020 Fair Theme: Play Ball, Play FAIR!

WHAT MAKES THEM UNIQUE? All-new and different activities and experiences each year.

Since 1912 each January, over a half million visitors enjoy 17 fun filled days at the South Florida Fair, one of Florida's oldest and largest community events. Since 1993, the themed expositions produced every year during the South Florida Fair are one of the most popular attractions of the 17-day event.

The 2020 South Florida Fair is a celebration of popular sports in our community. Experience the essence of sports - competition, fair play, and the zeal to win!

Interactive and educational sports exhibits will pave the way throughout the Expo Center. The Hometown Teams: How Sports Shape America exhibition, in partnership with the Smithsonian Institution and the Florida Humanities Council, will teach our visitors the cultural impact and importance of the different sports in American communities.

The National Baseball Hall of Fame's "Picturing America's Pastime" exhibition offers a snapshot of the photograph collection in the Museum's photo archive, spanning almost 150 years. Featuring work from photographers spanning generations, like Charles M. Conlon, Carl J. Horner, Arthur Rothstein, William C. Greene and Brad Mangin – along with many unidentified photographers whose images have been donated to the Museum – Picturing America’s Pastime captures the grandeur of the early game to the vibrancy of today’s sport through images in sepia, color and black-and-white.

At this year's Fair, strap on a VR headset and experience simulated realities in a variety of sports like golf, soccer, football, hockey, basketball, baseball and more. A batting cage, a pitching cage and a field goal kick will be available to test your skills as well.

After all of the excitement of the Expo, enjoy the Great Fair Food and experience the exhilarating rides. Take time to visit informative agricultural and community exhibits and learn all about Florida's history in Yesteryear Village.

The South Florida Fair wants you to PLAY BALL, PLAY FAIR! Join us January 17- February 2.
