All You Need To Know

We are thrilled that you are interested in the 2026 Florida State Fair.

In this section, we have assembled all the information you will need to enter the Open and Youth Dairy Shows. We encourage you to check out all the information for any show or shows you plan to enter.

All students that are entered in the 2026 Florida State Fair Youth Show must complete the Youth Livestock Show Ethics and Animal Care Workshop to show an animal at the Florida State Fair. Youth exhibiting at other fairs should check that specific fair’s rules for ethics qualifications. The last workshop offered for exhibitors showing at the Florida State Fair will be held on January 19, 2026.
