We have entertainment on two stages, 20 cultural villages, performers from all over the world, bilingual storytelling, art making, and other activities
plus lots of delicious food from around the world!

Kids are allowed to bring their lunches in - there are park benches and tables, and more seating in the Bethia Stage and drinks tent.

NO backpacks, cinch sacks, etc though. There are water fountains in the park. Many villages have drinks for sale, and SPIFFS has water and sodas at our booth. And t-shirts & tote bags!

Student & chaperone tickets are now on sale. Please fill out the school order form first! We are thrilled to keep the prices the same as the last few years and hope it helps our wonderful schools.

See you in March!

Thank You!

You can "visit" countries and cultures online.

Actually meeting someone in person is different.

At Folk Fair, students experience real cultural exchanges with people from all across the world.

Every year we look forward to having the students of Tampa Bay join us at the Fair!

Please check back for more information or contact us at
Info@SPIFFS.org if you have any questions.

SPIFFS asks that schools have at least 1 adult chaperone per every 5 students.

To facilitate that, we offer 1 free chaperone ticket per 5 student ticket purchased *at the time of purchase*.

Additional chaperone tickets are $10 each.
You don't have to do anything to get the free chaperone tickets.
