The 114th Central Florida Fair (Website) runs February 26 through March 8, at the Central Florida Fairgrounds. New rides this year include the Thunderbird Swing Tower, The Kraken, and a double-decker Venetian Carousel. The fair also features live music in the beer garden and a battle of the bands, sideshow acts, circus performances, and livestock competitions.
Additional attractions include battling robots and the return of the hit pop-up, The Blockbuster Experience. It’s a pop-up attraction designed to look just like a 1990s/early 2000s video store with salvaged signage, and shoppers can purchase old school candy and movies for sale and take selfies.
Admission to the Fair is $11, and the fairgrounds are located at 4603 W. Colonial Drive [GMap] in West Orlando. The fair runs daily during the 11-day event. Hours and specific event schedules are available at centralfloridafair.com.
