Volusia County Fair Expo

Always a fun time to see the displays and the animals. We are not big on the rides but it is fun to see them just the same. The fair food is as you expect — more of an indulgence than to be a real meal. I wish they served beer and wine but at the same time that would likely get out of hand for some. I wish they would list the full schedule on line so that I can better plan when I am going. This year they had the livestock area closed to everyone but the owners. No one at the fair seamed to know why it was closed or when it would open again. Oh well see them next year.

As always the blousing county fair was a blast. Lots of good food and entertainment. It’s best to get there as soon as they open which is 4pm on weekdays and 11am on weekends.

This is an awesome place for families to explore all of the animals, ride rides, laugh, and enjoy all of the exhibits that our FFA and 4H worked so hard on for this year’s fair and youth show.

lots of rides that my 7-​year old loves a lot. There are also many foods thatq are delicious. One of our favorites is Porky’s

Who doesn’t love a good county fair? I’ve been coming to this fair for the past 5 years it’s not the biggest or the best I’ve ever been to but the Volusia County Fair Association does a pretty good job, there are lots, of youth activities and they award ribbons for just about anything you could think of from the best gingerbread house, photos, painting, jellies, jams and fried spam think of something and you’ll probably find it here.
There are pigs, sheep, steers, chickens, rabbits, tractors, model trains, steam engines, and local honey. The midway is filled with rides and food vendors some claiming to be serving fair food since 1938. If you like gyros, corn dogs, funnel cakes, french fries, steak on a stick or pork on a bun this is the place for you.

PRO TIP: Buy your ticket ahead of time at participating Walgreens locations. It saved us so much money for both the ticket and the ride wristband!
I really love a good fair, and this one didn’t disappoint!
The grounds themselves were very clean. There were tons of great fair food options all around the place. The animal areas were clean and the displays were organized well.
The ride area was just great! So many amazing rides for all ages. The all-​you-​can ride wristband was $ 15 ahead of time and $ 30 day of. I didn’t buy one for myself and wanted to ride just one with my kids — and that alone cost me $ 7 for ONE RIDE! So get the wristband ahead of time.
The bathrooms were so clean — they actually have attendants in there cleaning everything. And they expect a tip!
My only real complaint about the fair — no alcohol. I get it, and actually appreciated that it kept things sane. But I really could have gone for a beer while my kids rode rides like crazy.
