Sarasota Medieval Fair
Step back in time and experience the magic of the Middle Ages at the Sarasota Medieval Fair, one of Florida’s most immersive and beloved annual festivals. This outdoor event brings history to life with thrilling jousting tournaments, live armored combat, themed entertainment, and a bustling marketplace filled with artisans, blacksmiths, glass blowers, and unique handmade goods.
Explore a recreated medieval village where acrobats, minstrels, fire-eaters, and jugglers roam the grounds, and guests of all ages can enjoy period games, food, and educational exhibits. Costumes are welcome and encouraged!
