The Alachua County Youth Fair and Livestock Show Association is pleased to announce the upcoming 2025 Alachua County Youth Fair & Livestock Show!

This is a free, educational platform for youth who are interested in agriculture. They will showcase livestock and exhibit non-livestock 4-H & FFA projects. It will run from Feb. 27 through March 4 at the Alachua County Agriculture and Equestrian Center.

“The youth fair benefits agriculture and the local community by providing an educational opportunity for youth to learn about production agriculture,” said Cindy Sanders, director of UF/IFAS Extension Alachua County. “Working with livestock and other agriculture events through the youth fair prepares future citizens of Alachua County to be knowledgeable about agriculture production and land use."
