The Miami-Dade County Fair & Exposition, The Youth Fair, is back for its 73rd year. Florida’s largest carnival and a Miami staple, the fair will run for 21 days from March 13 through April 6 at the fairgrounds in University Park.
This year’s theme, “Retro Rewind,” invites everyone to step back in time with nostalgic entertainment. The Fair offers a large variety of rides, food, games, performances, agricultural and academic exhibits and shopping.
