TAMPA, Fla. — If you can’t get enough of the sights, sounds, thrills and fried food of the Florida State Fair in one day, but you’re on a budget, you’re in luck.


What You Need To Know

  • Three-day passes for the Florida State Fair go on sale at 10 a.m. on Friday, April 9

  • Supplies are limited

  • The Florida State Fair runs April 22-May 2

The fair will be offering a limited amount of special discounted three-day passes beginning at 10 a.m. on Friday, April 9. The passes cost just $20—a savings of $7 on the cost of three single-day adult tickets—and are good for any days during the course of the fair’s 11-day 2021 tenure at the Florida State Fairgrounds just east of Ybor City. Go three days in a row, or take a break between trips; it’s up to you. There's plenty to do and see, for sure.

What’s the catch, you ask? Well, there are a few, but they’re negligible given the pass’s value for that paltry Jackson you’re laying out. These three-day passes are only available via the Florida State Fair website, and only until supplies run out. And, of course, you’ll still have to buy tickets or an armband for the rides.

The Florida State Fair was postponed this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and runs April 22-May 2.
