Those looking to provide an experience as a holiday present this year are in luck with the Southwest Florida Ag Expo presale of the MEGAPASS tickets.

“One trend that I have noticed in the past is people want more experimental things rather than stuff for the holidays,” Southwest Florida Ag Expo spokesperson Miriam Dotson said.

The MEGAPASS tickets can be purchased for $25 from Black Friday, Nov. 29, through Cyber Monday, Dec. 2 at swflagexpo.com.

The MEGAPASS includes gate admission and a wristband for unlimited mechanical rides for any day of choice.

“That helps balance things out for families,” Dotson said. “The MEGAPASS ends the moment the door opens to the event.”

The price will increase to $30 after Dec. 2 until the expo begins on Feb. 27.

The expo will be held Feb. 27 through March 9,at the Lee County Civic Center complex.

Dotson said they are excited to hold the expo again this year, as they received a great response during the inaugural year in which Lee County took over the event. This year’s theme “Ag-citing Adventure” will feature close to two full weeks of rides, food, fun, creative living, and agriculture events.

“There is something to be entertained or watched every day with the ag portion,” she said of activities such as the goat agility contest and horse shows.

The expo will feature themed nights again this year, including a new one –  $2 Tuesday — $2 gate admission, $2 ride tickets and $2 food items.

Other themed nights include Community Night benefiting the Harry Chapin Food Bank and Senior Day with half price gate admission for those 50 years old and older.

There will also be a sensory friendly day from 4 to 6 p.m. Friday, Feb. 28. There will be free admission during those hours. Dotson said all the rides will not be in motion yet, providing those young and older with an opportunity to attend.

As with last year, there will be an abundance of entertainment for the ag expo.

Individuals can also purchase general gate admission advance tickets for $10 for adults, $5 for children ages 4 to 11, and free for children 3 and younger. Active and retired military personnel will receive free gate admission every day with proper military ID.
