CANCELLED The 28th Annual Florida Renaissance Festival

Food, Fun & Entertainment!

March 5, 2020

For the fifth year in a row, the timeless Florida Renaissance Festival will offer SEVEN jam-packed themed weekends to ring in its 28th season. This year, the celebration kicks off with a return to the English Monarchy and Henry VIII is back! Prepare for a greeting by jesters, jugglers, and jousting knights upon entering the gates, and sweet melodies can be heard from every corner of the kingdom. It’s a full day of entertainment where the entire family can marvel at fan-favorite acts and performances that include immersive and interactive, real audience-participation scenarios. Join in on the fun with human-powered rides, artisan craft shops and enough food & drink for a royal family feast!
