About Glades County Fair
Glades County sits on the western shore of Lake Okeechobee — the "Big Water" and the second-largest freshwater lake wholly within the United States — where cattle ranching on the vast prairie grasslands surrounding the lake has defined the economy of one of Florida's most rural and sparsely populated counties, with a cowboy heritage that predates the tourist era.
What to Expect
Livestock and cattle competitions, 4-H and FFA exhibits, carnival rides, community food vendors, and local entertainment celebrating Glades County's Lake Okeechobee prairie cattle ranching heritage.
Visitor Tips
Moore Haven is the Glades County seat on Lake Okeechobee's western shore. The lake offers world-class bass fishing — the "Big O" is legendary among freshwater anglers, and the surrounding prairie landscape is quintessential old Florida cattle country.
