Experience Tampa’s premier, full-service equestrian facility at the Florida State Fairgrounds, with tranquil, oak-lined grounds right next to the excitement of the city.
Learn about Florida’s pioneering past at Cracker Country, Tampa’s only living history museum, located at The Fairgrounds, featuring structures from the late 1800s.
Agriculture at The Fairgrounds celebrates the industry that feeds our state and shapes our world. Here we champion the hardworking farmers, innovative students, and incredible livestock that make Florida unique.
