Twenty-One Open Days, Four Dark Dates
The 2027 Youth Fair runs March 18 to April 11 at the fairgrounds, 10901 SW 24th Street, Miami. The organiser's home page prints the span with four exceptions: March 29-30 and April 5-6. The remaining 21 dates are open days.
The rental page describes the grounds as home to the Youth Fair for 21 days every spring. The fair's FAQ page names the 2027 edition as its 75th anniversary celebration.
The Eight Weekend Dates
Eight open days fall on a Saturday or Sunday: March 20, 21, 27 and 28, then April 3, 4, 10 and 11.
Each closure runs Monday into Tuesday. A stay that runs from April 3 to April 10 holds two paid nights with no fair, April 5 and 6. Book the two weekends as separate stays.
Confirm the Gate Time
The 2027 hours are unpublished at this read. The hours page renders its navigation with no schedule, and the FAQ and ticket pages carry a sign-up prompt for the 2027 announcement. Set the dates from the table above, then take the gate time from the fair closer to the season.
Five Vehicle Entrances, One Rideshare Point
Traffic enters the grounds at five points: SW 112th Avenue and Coral Way, SW 114th Avenue and Coral Way, SW 22nd Street and 117th Avenue, SW 21st Street and 117th Avenue, and SW 107th Avenue and SW 17th Street.
Rideshare drop-off and pick-up use Coral Way and 112th Avenue. The handicap drop-off sits at the front of the main entrance.
The directions page limits that entrance list to the annual Youth Fair. Give a shuttle or coach driver the list, then confirm the gate with the organiser.

Read the Six Minutes Correctly
The Kendall property at 3.1 km gives the shortest run to the gate. It also puts the car on the same approach road as every other weekend visitor.
The Coral Gables address runs 14 minutes and the Dadeland address 16. Both sit between 10.3 and 12.5 km.
The Doral and airport addresses suit a fly-in: 16 to 21 minutes to the gate, with the airport 15.0 km out for a return flight.
Downtown at Government Center runs 23.4 km and 24 minutes each way.
The Nights to Hold
A weekend visit needs Friday and Saturday nights with a Sunday checkout. March 20-21, March 27-28, April 3-4 and April 10-11 are the four weekend pairs.
The run covers 25 calendar days. Four of them stay shut: March 29 and 30, April 5 and 6.
