Florida features many adult-centered activities throughout the year. Early each year, the city of Tampa is invaded by pirates during the Gasparilla Pirate Festival, a multimedia celebration that features parades, music, art and film. The residents of Key West turn the streets into a non-stop party for Fantasy Fest, a festival and parade that has grown to rival Mardi Gras, during the last week of October. Daytona Bike Week, held near the beginning of March in Daytona Beach, glorifies motorcycles and turns the city into a nonstop motorcycle race.

However, Florida also features a number of family-friendly activities. The Florida Music Festival is an exciting weekend of discovery for the music industry; each spring, unsigned bands and performers play nonstop throughout Orlando while industry scouts search for the next big hit. The Daytona 500, the most popular and prestigious race in the NASCAR circuit, is held each year in Daytona Beach on the last Sunday in February. The Florida State Fair, held each February at the State Fairgrounds in Tampa, celebrates the state's agricultural traditions and features competitions, tempting and quirky foods, live shows, exhibitions and rides.

Throughout the year, visitors can enjoy some of Florida's permanent attractions. The Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral showcases the United States' space program, featuring IMAX films, exhibits, the Astronaut's Hall of Fame and more. The Salvador Dali Museum, located in St. Petersburg, is home to many of the surrealist painter's works and sits in a building as strange as Dali's art.
