For the 114th year, the Central Florida Fair is back in Orlando with all of the attendant rides, games and fair food — everything can be fried! You’re only bound by your imagination.

New rides this year include the Thunderbird Swing Tower, The Kraken and the double-decker Venetian Carousel (which sounds incredibly pleasant). In addition, there’s a battle of the bands, a sideshow, a circus, livestock competitions, battling robots, and even the Blockbuster Experience simulacrum. They’re even still doing the Pride Night spotlight of local LGBTQ+ organizations (March 4), so what’s not to love?

Thursday, Feb. 26-March 8, Central Florida Fairgrounds, 4603 W. Colonial Drive, centralfloridafair.com, $11.
