MIAMI \u2014 The excitement is already building as staff get ready to open the Miami-Dade County Youth Fair, where this year\u2019s theme is \u201cWild About the Fair.\u201d<\/p>\n
Organizers say there\u2019s a lot that\u2019s new in 2026. <\/p>\n
Out of the 150 exhibitors, visitors will find 38 brand-new food items, along with two new rides and several ticket deals meant to keep things affordable for families.<\/p>\n
But before the gates open, the focus is on safety.<\/p>\n
Inspections have been happening since early Wednesday morning. The checks come a couple of years after an issue with one of the rides, when safety features automatically kicked in. <\/p>\n
No one was hurt, but fair officials say it served as an important reminder of why those inspections matter.<\/p>\n
If something doesn\u2019t pass inspection, officials say it won\u2019t open.<\/p>\n
Once everything gets the green light, though, the focus shifts to the fun and food.<\/p>\n
Among the new items this year are Dubai chocolate cookies, and for those feeling a little adventurous, frog legs will also be on the menu.<\/p>\n
Organizers say affordability is also a big focus this year. Admission on opening day, and several other select days, will be just $5. There will also be $6 days, where guests can get in for $6 before 6 p.m.<\/p>\n
Discounted tickets can be found at Sedano\u2019s Supermarkets.<\/p>\n
With inspections continuing and opening day right around the corner, organizers say they\u2019re excited to get the fair underway and give South Florida families plenty of new things to try.<\/p>\n
