South Florida Fair
South Florida Fair to turn superhuman with 2019 theme
From children to adults, many have used their imagina-
tions to dream of possessing extraordinary or superhuman powers. That’s the stuff of superheroes and honoring them is what South Florida Fair organizers have chosen as its 2019 fair theme. Next year’s fair will kick off with its Ride-A -Thon at 5 p.m. on Jan. 17 and the full fair will be held Jan. 18 – Feb. 3. Fair organizers will be honoring superheroes of all forms
—from everyday heroes to the superheroes of the silver screen. Throughout the 17 days of the fair, guests can ex- pect to see appearances by their favorite Marvel and DC Comics Heroes. Local superheroes also will be recog- nized. That’s not all that will be super, according to Vicki
Chouris, the fair’s vice president. “Guests can expect to take advantage of super savings
with advance tickets and the continuation of our $2 Tues- days, super concerts, super unique foods, super rides and
much more,” said Chouris. Daily parades, which
were featured as part of last year’s “Magical Pa- rades” theme, will con- tinue due to their popu- larity. They will be called “Not All Superheroes Wear Capes.” Fair organizers will be calling for nominations in different categories in the community and those selected will get to enjoy the excite- ment of riding on a float and tossing out beads to guests. More superhero details will be revealed closer the fair’s start. The fair will continue to host an award-winning agriculture
and livestock program featuring more than 1,000 exhibitors from over 30 Florida counties, four stages of music and entertainment, a historic Yesteryear Village, and over 200 rides, games and attractions. Fairgoers also can expect to tempt their taste buds with the best in fried foods and other tasty, exotic treats.
