From the Florida State Fair:
“The Florida State Fair Authority Board of Directors voted unanimously to postpone the annual Florida State Fair to April 2021. Originally scheduled for February 11-22, 2021, the Florida State Fair competitions, entertainment, carnival and other attractions and activities will now be rescheduled for some time in April. The Market Steer and Swine show competitions will still be held in February.
We understand the impact this has on many of our exhibitors. Please know that we are working as quickly as possible to secure new dates. As soon as they are secured, we will release a new livestock event schedule. We understand the new dates may not work for some of you, however you have our full commitment that we will work with you to cancel registrations and refund entry fees. Please allow us some time to organize the details.
We remain dedicated to fulfilling our mission to support Florida youth and hosting a long-time Tampa tradition. Thank you for your support and understanding.”
Information such as the new date for the fair, how to go about receiving refunds, modifications to shows and if additional entries will be taken is unavailable at this time.
The fair offers youth shows for market steers and swine, and breeding beef, dairy cattle, sheep, Boer goats, dairy goats, poultry, rabbits and llamas for youth, along with open shows for breeding beef, dairy cattle, Boer goats, pygmy goats, poultry, rabbits and llamas.
