The South Florida Fair returns to West Palm Beach and promises fun for the whole family.

The 2025 theme, “Imagine the Future,” will feature a “Science Fiction, Science Future” interactive exhibit featuring teleportation, holograms, invisibility and mind control. The exhibition, created by the famous Scitech from Perth, Australia, will allow visitors to move objects with their minds, become invisible and be imitated by a lifelike robot.

The fair kicks off with the Ride-A-Thon on Thursday, January 16th. With an online coupon, guests can enjoy all the rides for just $20, including admission and unlimited rides. The coupon must be printed and presented at the gate when purchasing.

The full fair kicks off on January 17, where guests can enjoy new shows including the “Flying Royals”, a group of elite flying trapeze artists performing. Additional entertainment includes a Top Talent Showdown, a Foods of the Future tour and two electronic dance music nights.

Popular returning features include comedy hypnotist Brad Matchett, the Tribute Band Competition, a drumline competition and the Cowboy Circus and Cowgirl Circus acts.

The pig races are a popular show at the fair.

The new “Ag-Ventureland” children’s area is an interactive and educational exhibit with hands-on agricultural-themed activities, including simulated cow milking and pony breeding.

The fair also features over 200 games, rides and attractions as well as an award-winning agricultural and livestock program with over 2,000 exhibits presented by nearly 500 exhibitors from over 30 Florida counties.

The South Florida Fair will run from January 17th to February 2nd. Advance admission tickets are available for $10 through January 16 at Publix and online at southfloridafair.com. ¦
