The 2021 Florida State Fair begins soon and in addition to the classics, the fair has a new line-up of treats you can try.
The fair opens on April 22 and runs until May 2.
Event organizers say while the event is mostly outdoors CDC and Florida Department of Health recommendations will be adhered to. That includes providing sanitation stations inside the event, requiring masks and social distancing.
