Central Florida Fair, Inc.

The Central Florida Fair & Expo Park, in addition to hosting 145+ events each year, is home to the annual Central Florida Fair. With over 2 million visitors a year, there is an event for everyone! Specializing in outdoor events, festivals, and concerts, there is 87 acres of space to put on a great show plus 63,000+ square feet of indoor event space. The Central Florida Fair was founded in 1910 by a group of community leaders who sought an outlet to celebrate the agricultural industry in Orlando and its surrounding counties. With an average annual attendance of 200,000, the Central Florida Fair successfully continues its mission to preserve and enhance the agricultural, cultural, educational, and historical legacy of Orange, Seminole, Osceola, Lake, Brevard, and Volusia Counties, known collectively as "Central Florida."​ It is the largest not-for-profit fair in Central Florida and among the top five largest fairs in the state.
