The fair was originally scheduled for Feb. 11-22, but officials say the move will allow for larger crowds to gather.
They warn, however, that the move is still dependent on whether coronavirus cases continue to spike across the greater Tampa Bay region.
While the carnival, competitions, entertainment and other attractions will be postponed, officials say the Market Steer and Swing show competitions will be held as scheduled.
The Florida State Fairgrounds will remain open for non-fair events.
