SARASOTA – The Sarasota Medieval Fair, which had 85,000 visitors last year, returns for a three–weekend run with an invigorated lineup and a Vikings theme.
This year’s living history lesson takes place in the town of Edinton as the Saxons led by King Alfred fight off invading Norse Vikings. The Vikings vs. Saxons theme in the year 878 A.D. predates most medieval fairs, so it is a rare treat for the Suncoast.
The Sarasota Medieval Fair returns to Ringling Woods near the Sarasota County Fairgrounds for the next three weekends. Cost is $35 per person and tickets can be purchased online here.
