The South Florida Fair, Palm Beach County’s largest and oldest event, is starting its second century with a number of new attractions including an impressive 70,000 square foot exposition theme of “Washington, D.C., Our Nation’s Capital.”
New entertainment offerings include a world-class, patriotic ice show, an intriguing Elephant Encounter, a Firefighter Show and the Landshark Band. Returning fair favorites include pig racing, a petting zoo, hypnotist Mark Yuzuik, Dennis Lee and the Sally Bennett Big Band orchestra. All are free with a fair admission ticket.
National recording acts that have been booked include Jackyl, 10th Avenue North, Dustin Lynch and the Country Gold Tour. More than 90 rides will be open on the magical Wade Shows midway.
Among the fair favorites are the thousands of farm animals and feathered friends gathered in the Agriplex and strolling through historic Yesteryear Village while perhaps munching on a famous corn dog or funnel cake.
