We went in 2013 on a Villages' AAA bus trip. It was very crowded (I'm not a crowd person.) The lot for cars must have been full because many many neighboring homes were renting out their yards for parking - at a bit of a distance from the fair grounds. We were okay because of restricted bus parking.

The fair was good, but spectacular if one is a strawberry lover. Various food concessions, vendors' tent exhibits on a multitude of products unrelated to strawberries, music etc.

If you drive there, bring a cooling container for strawberries bought.

I think if you planned to arrive very early, it would be fine.

Best wishes.
