County offers Black Friday ticket deal for Ag Expo
Discounted Southwest Florida Ag Expo tickets will go on sale Black Friday, giving attendees a great deal for admission and unlimited mechanical rides for one day.
Miriam Dotson, Southwest Florida Ag Expo spokesperson, said they held the MEGAPASS ticket sale before the expo kicked off and had huge success last year.
Purchase of the MEGAPASS tickets will kick off on Nov. 28 and run through Cyber Monday, Dec. 1. The tickets are $25 and include admission and a wristband for unlimited mechanical rides for one day of choice. This promotion is only available online during these days.
After Dec. 1 the MEGAPASS will increase to $30 until the Ag Expo begins.
Without the MEGAPASS, admission tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for children ages 4-11 and free for children under 3, and rides are an additional cost. There is free gate admission all day, every day for active and retired military personnel with property military ID.
Dotson said it’s a great sale for families, as the more people in the family, the more costly a day at the Ag Expo can become.
“Saving $5 now will save more in the long run. It’s a great holiday gift that you can get online. It’s a great gift, and a great way to kick off the holiday season,” she said. “The MEGAPASS is so great — you get your gate admission and rides in one. The MEGAPASS really is the best deal. You get to ride the rides as much as you want, one day of your choice, (during) one of the 11 days.”
The 2026 Southwest Florida Ag Expo, “Roots n Rides: A Celebration of Tradition,” will run from Feb. 26, through March 8. The theme is to honor the area’s agricultural heritage.
The Ag Expo will feature mechanical rides from Reithoffer Shows, livestock exhibition, Creative Living displays and a variety of different foods.
Dotson said the Blue Ribbon Bites will return again this year, a tasting contest amongst the food vendors before the Ag Expo begins, so they can display their ribbon during the 11-day event.
