Sarasota Medieval Fair

The Sarasota Medieval Fair is a recreation of a medieval era village with festive performers, crafts, demonstrations, games, rides, and food. Each festival day offers exciting tournaments, scrumptious feasts, & pure family fun at our grand improved 47-acre home, the Woods of Mallaranny!

Step back in time & watch full-contact jousting, human combat chess matches & other fantastic shows on 13 stages! Enjoy rides & play games! Enjoy music & shop for the holidays in our artisan marketplace of over 140+ shops!

In celebration of this year’s 22nd anniversary scenario, Vikings vs. French at the Siege of Paris 845 AD, we are excited to announce uniquely themed weekends, celebrating the historical legends of the medieval era!
