Okeechobee County Fair 2027 — Nine Days of Midway, Livestock & Demolition Derby
The Okeechobee County Fair is the biggest week on the local calendar, running nine days each March at the Okeechobee County Agri-Civic Center & Fairgrounds. It is a real agricultural fair in a real cattle county — which is exactly what makes it worth going to.
A full carnival midway from Modern Midways lights up the fairgrounds, but the heart of the fair is the Okeechobee Youth Livestock Show, where local kids show and auction steers, hogs and heifers they have raised themselves. Add a demolition derby, family stage shows, a petting zoo and a midway full of fair food, and you have the week Okeechobee plans its March around.
