The 82nd Osceola County Fair returns to Osceola Heritage Park beginning on Friday. Presented by the Kissimmee Valley Livestock Show (KVLS), the fair, running through Sunday, Feb. 22, features the Silver Spurs Rodeo, special events, and daily excitement including carnival games, amusements, a tractor and derby track, a livestock barn, animal exhibits, a kids area, fair food, and more.
This year’s theme, “The Legacy—Moving Forward by Looking Back,” celebrates Osceola’s agricultural roots, the youth who carry them forward, and the community spirit that makes Osceola County shine.
These programs go far beyond the show ring,” said Joel Rose, General Manager of the Osceola County Fair. “They shape future leaders, preserve our agricultural traditions, and ensure that Osceola County’s farming heritage remains strong for generations to come.”
From livestock exhibitions and youth auctions to agricultural demonstrations and educational exhibits, agriculture remains the central pulse of the fair — even as the event continues to grow in size and scope.
