Orlando's Annual Midway Fair

From , former About.com Guide

Come one, come all to the Central Florida Fair. This annual, eleven day event has been held every spring in Orlando since 1914. Check the dates for this year's fair and other events for the month.

Experience the thrill of the midway with over 100 rides and attractions. Serious thrill seekers can take advantage of Ridebands - pay one price and get unlimited rides for that day.

Rides aren't your thing? Then don't forget about the traditional 'fair food', where deep fried is the standard! Favorites include corndogs, funnel cakes, Italian sausage subs, pizza, snow cones, pretzels and cotton candy, just to name a few.

Exhibit halls display the creative arts, horticulture displays, competition and demonstrations of the local youth. The Youth Livestock Exhibits focus on education including feeding, grooming record keeping and showmanship. The Central Florida boasts one of the largest livestock shows in Florida, with hundreds of animals on display.
