Sarasota Medieval Fair

The Sarasota Medieval Fair is a three weekend trip back to the 11th century. Brimming with feasts, tournaments, and performances, this festival is full of interactive family fun. Activities include a full contact jousting tournament (held twice daily), a human combat chess match, rides, games and over 100 shops, food and snack booths. Casts of knights, jesters, minstrels, belly dancers, wenches and sword swingers will move about throughout the crowd and patrons are encouraged to interact with the characters and ask questions. If you'd really like to get into the fun, dress up and compete in the costume contest for prizes!
