Jacksonville Fair 2026 gets a major upgrade. Here's your guide

A new location, bigger attractions and fresh experiences headline the Greater Jacksonville Agricultural Fair’s 71st year. Returning Nov. 5-15, 2026, the annual Northeast Florida tradition will bring 11 days of rides, fair food, live entertainment, competitions, shopping and family fun to a brand-new location on Jacksonville’s Westside. This year marks the beginning of a new chapter for the fair as it moves to its new 82-plus-acre home next to the Jacksonville Equestrian Center. The move sets the stage for what organizers hope will be the biggest Jacksonville Fair yet. According to Bill Olson, who has served as president and CEO of the Jacksonville Fairgrounds since January 2019, the goal is to elevate the Jacksonville Fair into the ranks of Florida’s largest and most prominent fairs, alongside the Florida State Fair in Tampa, the South Florida Fair in West Palm Beach, the Miami-Dade County Fair and the Florida Strawberry Festival in Plant City. "We'll get there in a couple years" he added. Among the new additions this year are the JAX Amphitheater, a 10,000-capacity outdoor venue; the Kona Skate Show; a new agricultural barn; expanded food offerings; and a towering 155-foot Ferris wheel known as Mr. Chubby’s Wing Wheel, just to

Amendment 3 passes: Jacksonville homeowners could save thousands as city weighs budget cuts

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – More than 4.9 million Floridians voted “Yes” on Amendment 3. In Duval County, 56.5% of voters — more than 194,000 people — approved the measure. The amendment expands the non-school property homestead exemption from $50,000 to $150,000 in 2027, then to $250,000 in 2028. That means more money in homeowners’ pockets — but significantly less for local government.
