Yes there was delicious food and drink, live music, art and craft vendors, face painting and sooo much more. But this review is about the overall experience from the "people" aspect of it. I'm proud to have attended an "open to all" public gathering that brings people together in such a peaceful, joyful and respectful way. I struck up conversations with several co-attendees and a couple of event staffers who were quick to give food recommendations and had fun stories to share! Thank you to the Jewish Temple staff for such a wonderful fun event, for bringing people together in a positive and fun environment and of course for the smorgasbord of great food! A special shout out to fellow Yelpers who attended! Great seeing everyone!!!

Big props to the city/county for closing down all related streets during the festival. It was great to have the freedom to walk up and down Park Ave. and other nearby streets. Live music, food trucks, you name it! LeMoyne Chain of Parks had fun for people of all ages. The incredible weather definitely amplified the experience, too. This is just another perfect example of what makes Tallahassee unique. And if you don't think so, then wake up!

Although it always ends up being way too hot, especially if you stay too long into the afternoon, and there is always a ton of people wandering about, the art cannot be diminished in any way! The selection and quality of the art for purchase were absolutely astounding, especially for what is only a small town festival at first glance. But it is even more enjoyable to chat with the artists themselves, who travel from all over the east coast, and hear the story behind each piece and what the work means to them. The festival is such a treat for every level of art appreciation and you should put it on your calendar to attend every spring!

11/16/2019 Came on the last weekend of the fair (Saturday night) and yes it was packed with long…read morelines and hard to find parking. This is a good sign! Lots of people means it is very popular. We actually parked outside of the venue in a private lot for $5 which was an excellent value. The lines of cars and associated traffic jams were almost at a complete standstill and we only walked 1 block to get in! The line for entry tickets was super long and moving slowly as well. Another person in line mentioned that the North Florida Fair has a website with online ticket sales! So we logged in on our smartphones, filled out the necessary credit card information and were able to purchase $8 general admission entry tickets in a snap! (a small $1 service charge was applied per ticket) A barcode was emailed to us which was scanned at the gate on our iPhones and we were in! We cut our entry wait time to zero! Sweet! Once inside we were immediately immersed into the lights, sounds and smells that define a fair. It was euphoric. We visited the pavilions first to see the many various categories of Fair contests all competing for that coveted 1st place blue ribbon! Livestock, arts, plants, prepared foods, quilts, etc., all in a friendly competition judged by I'm sure impeccable non-biased judges with excellent palates and senses, and having the knowledge of what it takes to choose a winner. It is so inspiring to see the local and surrounding communities coming together to be a part of such a wonderful fair tradition! As we meandered down the midway it seemed everyone had smiles on their faces, the twinkle of glittering lights in their eyes, handfuls of foods and puppy love teens clasping hands. I wasn't surprised to see long lines for the more popular rides which seemed to move at a snails pace. There was an option to pay $35 which included main gate entry and unlimited rides. The fair was supposed to be open until the wee hours of Sunday morning and as the night wore on the crowds thinned out and the ride lines shortened. I'm pretty sure that those with the unlimited ride passes were able to get their monies worth as early birds departed. I am a big fan of distractions. Life's distractions. The fair provides a way to let go of your daily grind temporarily to enjoy some fun family time or just do a little thrill seeking. The North Florida Fair delivers.

This was my first time at the North Florida Fair and it was a fun experience for the whole family…read more There was something for everyone to enjoy, from rides to games and a variety of food options. The selection of rides was impressive, and my kids had a blast, especially with the classics like the Ferris wheel and bumper cars. The fairgrounds were well-organized, and clean. The food was typical fair fare--corn dogs, turkey legs, funnel cakes, popcorn, and fried everything! While the prices were a bit high, it's part of the fair experience, and we enjoyed trying a little bit of everything. One highlight was the livestock exhibits, which offered a nice break from the excitement of the midway. My kids loved seeing the animals up close and learning a bit about them. Be sure to bring some cash for the games and food as some vendors charge a fee for using a credit card no matter the amount spent. Plan ahead and look at the tickets/rides specials online. Will definitely visit again next year.

They have a wing, just talking about all these scientific discoveries they've made at the university. I believe they share this with FAMU, but don't quote me on that just yet. I'm not 100% sure. Anyway, aside from parking, which was garage parking and had to be paid for, it was a pretty standard movie theater. You know, get tickets, purchase popcorn, the usual stuff. I will say though that they don't play every single movie currently out, but I think it's because this location is small. Nevertheless, it has its charm -- the screen is great and the employees are nice.

Venue was clean, seats were comfortable and the movie looked amazing. My only complaint would be that I wish there would have been a heads up about the Christmas parade happening when we came into town on the Challenger website. Waze/Google Maps both showed the same path to get there but most of the nearby streets were blocked off with no alternative routes so getting to the parking garage was a nightmare. Luckily we were way early and still made it with 30 minutes to spare. Other than that one issue, a great visit. We will be coming in more often now that we are aware they are there.
