Brooksville to Host Nine-Day Agriculture and Wildlife Expo in March 2026
Brooksville's Florida Agriculture & Wildlife Expo runs through March 21, packing nine days with nightly rodeos, youth livestock competitions, and a closing-day market animal sale.
The Florida Agriculture & Wildlife Expo is in full swing in Brooksville, with eight days still remaining in a nine-day run that stretches from its March 13 opening through March 21 and fills each evening with rodeo action, competitive livestock shows, wildlife exhibits, and youth showmanship events.
The expo, branded FAWE, opened Friday night with a rodeo at 7:30 p.m., and Saturday brought a double-header: the goat show began with check-in at 8 a.m., followed by a second rodeo performance at 7:30 p.m. The rodeo series carries the name "Bulls, Broncs & Barrels," signaling the full range of traditional rodeo competition.
The schedule grows more intensive as the week progresses. Poultry and rabbit exhibitors check in Sunday between 4 and 6 p.m., with the Poultry Show on Monday at 3 p.m. and Poultry Showmanship following at 6 p.m. Tuesday evening runs the longest stretch of the week, with steer weigh-in from 4 to 6 p.m., the Rabbit Show at 5 p.m., and Rabbit Showmanship at 7 p.m. Swine competitors weigh in Wednesday between 4 and 7 p.m., then compete Thursday at 6 p.m. in the combined Swine Show and Showmanship. Friday brings the Steer Show and Steer Showmanship, also at 6 p.m.
The nine days culminate Saturday, March 21, with Market Animal Sales beginning at noon. Pullets go first at 1 p.m., swine sales start no earlier than 3 p.m., and steers are sold no earlier than 5 p.m., with the day's activities running through 7 p.m.
Beyond the competitive schedule, the expo also features wildlife exhibits and educational programs alongside the livestock events, rounding out what organizers describe as "nine days of rodeo fun, livestock shows, wildlife exhibits, educational programs, and family fun."
