No fair is complete without rides, and the South Florida Fair delivered plenty of excitement. From classic spinning rides to heart-pounding coasters, there was no shortage of ways to get your adrenaline pumping. Families and thrill-seekers alike could find something to enjoy, whether it was a gentle ride for younger children or a fast-paced attraction for those who love a little adventure. The game booths were also a major highlight, with classic carnival challenges testing skills and luck. Whether it was tossing rings, popping balloons or trying to win a giant stuffed animal, the fair brought out the competitive spirit in everyone.

The food scene at the fair was a dream for any foodie. Classic fair snacks like funnel cakes and fried treats were available, but what really stood out were the more unique offerings. The pancake and donut burgers were an unexpected yet delightful combination of sweet and savory, and the tacos were packed with flavor, offering a perfect handheld snack to enjoy while strolling through the fairgrounds. No matter what you were in the mood for, there were plenty of tasty options to satisfy every craving.

A standout feature of the fair was its stage with live music every night, creating a vibrant atmosphere for visitors. On Thursday, the Red Not Chili Peppers took the stage, delivering an electrifying set filled with all the best Red Hot Chili Peppers hits. The tribute band brought an impressive level of energy and authenticity, and the crowd—numbering in the hundreds—was fully engaged, singing and dancing along. It was a perfect way to cap off an evening at the fair, adding a concert-like experience to an already exciting event.

For animal lovers, the petting zoo was a must-visit. Families could get up close with friendly farm animals, making it an especially great attraction for kids. The poultry show showcased an impressive variety of chickens, offering an educational and entertaining experience for those interested in agriculture and farming.

A unique and action-packed attraction was Gellyball, a thrilling shooting game similar to paintball but using soft gel balls. The small arena, complete with hiding spots, made for an exciting and fast-paced competition. Whether playing with friends or going head-to-head with strangers, it was an exhilarating way to add a little adventure to the fair experience.

Whether you were looking to challenge yourself, relax with family, or rockin’ with the fun cover band the Red Not Chili Peppers, there was something for everyone. With a lively atmosphere, unforgettable experiences, and memories made at every corner, this year’s fair proved once again that it’s the place to be for fun, adventure, and a little bit of everything!

Luli Fama Launches Paradise Found Cruise ’27 Swimwear Collection in Miami
Luli Fama celebrates its Paradise Found Cruise ’27 swimwear and resortwear collection with a luxury Miami launch at its Dadeland Mall boutique.
August 20, 2026
Miami swimwear favorite Luli Fama is stepping into Cruise ’27 with Paradise Found, a new swimwear and resortwear collection inspired by tropical escapes, exotic prints and effortless vacation glamour.
South Florida Insider has already taken a closer look at the Luli Fama Paradise Found collection, and it feels made for Miami.
The new Cruise ’27 collection combines the bold, body-confident swimwear Luli Fama is known for with elevated resort pieces designed to move effortlessly from the beach and pool to cocktails and dinner.
On Thursday, August 20, Luli Fama will celebrate Paradise Found with an exclusive evening at its newest Dadeland Mall boutique in Miami, complete with fashion, light bites, personalized surprises, and a luxe espresso martini bar.
Inside Luli Fama’s Paradise Found Cruise ’27 Collection
Paradise Found is inspired by the feeling of discovering a hidden tropical retreat.
Think lush landscapes, warm golden hour light, exotic patterns, and silhouettes made for somewhere beautiful.
The collection features Luli Fama signatures, including flattering ruched details, seamless construction, adjustable fits, and statement swimwear, alongside an expanded selection of resortwear.
We especially love the pieces that blur the line between swim and ready-to-wear.
Flowing dresses, sleek coverups, and body-skimming silhouettes make it easy to transition from a sun-drenched afternoon to an evening out without losing that relaxed resort feeling.
It is sensual, polished, and unmistakably Miami.
Luli Fama Brings Luxury Resort Style to Miami
There is a reason Paradise Found feels so natural in South Florida.
In Miami, resortwear is not reserved for vacation.
A swimsuit can become part of an outfit. A coverup can take you to lunch. A flowing resort dress can carry you from an afternoon by the water straight into cocktails and dinner.
Luli Fama has always understood that lifestyle.
Paradise Found takes it a step further, creating a Cruise ’27 wardrobe that feels as appropriate for a tropical getaway as it does for a weekend in Miami.
The campaign captures that mood beautifully, pairing the collection with palms, lush greenery, tropical architecture and the kind of sun soaked setting that makes you want to extend your vacation indefinitely.
Paradise Found Comes to Luli Fama at Dadeland Mall
Luli Fama will bring the world of Paradise Found to life on Thursday, August 20 from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM at its newest boutique at Dadeland Mall in Miami.
The intimate celebration will bring together invited guests, influencers, celebrities and media for an early look at Cruise ’27.
Luli Fama is also dressing invited guests in pieces from the brand, allowing the new collection to be experienced the way it was designed to be worn: in motion, styled and out for the evening.
Luli After Hours Espresso Martini Bar
Fashion is only part of the experience.
For the Paradise Found celebration, Luli Fama is introducing Luli After Hours, an Espresso Martini Bar inspired by the glamour of the collection.
Guests will be able to sip three specialty espresso martinis created for the evening.
The Luli Babe puts a polished spin on the classic espresso martini, while Golden Hour pairs salted caramel with edible gold shimmer. Miami After Dark takes a richer approach with chocolate hazelnut and a cocoa dust finish.
Along with cocktails, guests can expect light bites, curated details and a special personalized surprise.
The result feels less like a traditional retail event and more like checking into a private resort for the evening.
A Miami Swimwear Brand Celebrates at Home
For a brand with such a strong connection to South Florida, launching Paradise Found in Miami feels especially fitting.
Luli Fama has built its identity around colorful, confident swimwear and resort fashion with a distinctly tropical point of view.
Paradise Found carries that identity into Cruise ’27 while giving it a more elevated, escapist mood.
And with Luli Fama’s newest boutique now at Dadeland Mall, Miami shoppers have another destination to experience the brand in person.
After getting our own closer look at Luli Fama’s Paradise Found Cruise ’27 collection, we can safely say the name fits.
Paradise has officially been found, and this time, it is in Miami.
