The Florida Federation of Fairs has awarded The Broward County Fair as a Blue Ribbon Fair for 2010-2011.
The Florida Federation of Fairs recognizes and awards the top fairs in the state that excel after a rigorous judging process. This Blue Ribbon Fair Improvement Program is designed to highlight improvements the fairs have made, award excellence in different programs, and promote the exchange of information and knowledge between fairs.
The mission of the Florida Federation of Fairs is to increase the overall quality of Florida’s Agricultural Fairs, provide the members the support and guidance needed to enlighten our youth and educate the fairgoers on agriculture, trade, entertainment and the heritage of Florida.
The All New Broward County Fair will feature midway rides, concerts and entertainment on two stages, daily contests, a sports bar tent, and student, agriculture and animal exhibits Nov. 17 - 27 at the City Center site at 10300 Pines Blvd. in Pembroke Pines.

Fair Food! Enjoy all the traditional fair fare as well as more unusual offerings such as Deep-Fried Oreos. Originator Rene Piche, a colorful character who in January will celebrate his 50th anniversary traveling all over the country to various fairs and festivals, will once again be a vendor at the Broward County Fair, serving up his own special version of fried dough, funnel cakes, funnel cake sundaes and those sinfully delicious Deep-Fried Oreos.
South Florida's Agricultural Roots! An important part of the mission of the Broward County Fair, a 501(c)3 organization chartered by the Florida Department of Agriculture in 1976, is to showcase local agriculture. Meet pigs, cows, rabbits, cavies (guinea pigs) and chickens; cheer on your favorite contestant in our daily Cavy Races; and view beautiful horticulture displays created by South Florida students.
