The Central Florida Fair kicks up its heels in Orlando for a 113th year (!) and during this 11-day run, fairgoers can avail themselves of all the classic midway fixtures.
Gorge on all kinds of fried food, from the traditional to the more experimental (who came up with fried cheesecake on a stick?), wash it all down with a lemon shake-up, and rock your guts around on the twists and turns of the thrill rides.
This year’s fair also features live music on select nights, a petting zoo, fiery performances from Circus Inferno, high-energy entertainment from the Zerbini Family Circus and the return of 1990s video store reenactment “The Blockbuster Experience.” Throughout, the fair will hold themed nights with special deals, including Pride Night and Educator Night.
Opens Thursday, Feb. 27 through March 9, Central Florida Fairgrounds, 4603 W. Colonial Drive, centralfloridafair.com, $11.50.
