The Florida State Fair may be winding down but don’t fret. If you missed the State fair this year, (or if you are like me and simply love fairs), the Pasco County Fair is open as of February 17th.

This year’s fair is opening on President’s Day, so since the kids will be out of school fair officials expect a large turnout. They plan on starting the fair with a huge parade that begins at 11:30 am, with the fair grounds opening at 2 pm. on the 17th. The fairgrounds are located on State Road 52 in Dade City.

The fair will have free daily entertainment along with the usual exciting midway rides, games, delicious concessions and vendors. There is also a rodeo and of course the annual pageants for Miss Pasco, Miss Heart & Baby Pageant.

See the video below from the Pasco County Fair FaceBook page…

The fair runs through the 23rd. For more detailed information on the fair and the daily schedules click HERE:
