Hoggetowne Medieval Fair
About this festival
The King and Queen extend a royal invitation to the 24th Annual Hoggetowne Medieval Faire. Come be swept away by medieval magic at the Alachua County Fairgrounds on January 30-31, and February 5-7. Step back in time and cheer on royal knights as they joust on horseback for their ladies’ honor. Wander through the marketplace where hundreds of talented artisans demonstrate their skills and sell medieval wares. Visit eight stages of continuous entertainment where the forgotten skills of full flight falconry, gripping aerial acrobatics and astonishing magic acts are brought back to life. Experience medieval livelihood like never before! Human powered push rides, old world games, food fit for a king and so much more awaits you. Be a part of the magic and let your senses experience the sights and sounds at one of North Florida’s most beloved traditions. Come between the hours of 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. Admission is just $14 for adults, $7 for children ages 5-17.
