About Alachua County Fair

Alachua County is anchored by Gainesville — home of the University of Florida Gators and one of the South's great university cities — where the Natural History Museum, Kanapaha Botanical Gardens, and the Paynes Prairie Preserve State Park (where wild bison and horses roam a vast Florida savanna) frame a county of remarkable natural and academic richness.

What to Expect

Livestock and agricultural competitions, 4-H and FFA exhibits, large carnival midway, grandstand entertainment, and fair food drawing from the Gainesville metro and UF community's large and diverse population.

Visitor Tips

Gainesville is the Alachua County seat on I-75. The University of Florida campus is beautiful year-round, and Paynes Prairie Preserve — where wild horses and bison roam a massive Florida savanna — is one of the most unexpected wildlife experiences in the South.
