About the Medieval Fair

This year the Sarasota Medieval Fair is located at Ringling Woods right behind the fairgrounds in Sarasota. The Medieval Fair has been happening every November since 2005 and brings new exciting experiences for their guests each year. All of the team members are based in Sarasota, Florida and they are very proud of the work they do each year they return to the Medieval Fair. This is a family-friendly event and they support their community each year. Each year the Medieval Fair brings back favorites from the previous years and new entertainment for this year.
