Miami-Dade County Youth Fair & Exposition It's that time of year again! Funnel cakes, corn dogs, Ferris wheels, wild mouse coasters, and log flumes have convened for the annual Miami-Dade County Youth Fair & Exposition (AKA the Youth Fair). In what has become a rite of passage for kids across South Florida, the fair takes place through the first week of April. The theme of the 72nd edition is "Spaceventure," with the promise of out-of-this-world entertainment, food, and performances. It's the largest county fair in Florida, spanning 86 acres, with an expected attendance of 500,000 visitors across 21 days.
