Visitor Tips

Brooksville is one of the most charming small cities in Florida, with a Victorian downtown and rolling pastoral landscape unusual in the Sunshine State — the Withlacoochee State Forest, Weeki Wachee Springs (home of the mermaids), and the Chassahowitzka National Wildlife Refuge are all nearby.

About Hernando County Fair

Held each late April through early May in Brooksville, the Hernando County Fair is a nine-day celebration of the agricultural and equestrian heritage of a county nestled between the Withlacoochee State Forest and the Gulf of Mexico along Florida's Nature Coast.

What to Expect

Expect livestock and equine shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, carnival rides, live entertainment, and local food vendors in the rolling hill country of Florida's Nature Coast.
