Food, Fun, Music, and Agriculture Are All There: 2024 Florida State Fair opens

The 120th annual Florida State Fair opened its doors on Thursday, welcoming crowds to the 12-day event. It was warm and sunny, perfect weather for the fair. There are new additions this year to the next, including Bello Nock’s Aqua Rock Show, a waterborne thrill show featuring jet skis and flying entertainers, and the Secret Walls Live Paint Battle, where teams of artists take 90 minutes to create a mural in front of a live audience who then vote on the winner.
