EncampmEnts and dEmonstrationsThe spirit and life of the renaissance is best experienced in our Living History Encampments

EVERGLADES FREE 5TH COMPANY: This encampment features all the hardworking volunteers who perform the vital function of protecting both the audience and the horses for our Joust shows. They also assist our Master Falconer and Master Archer with their demonstrations on the Lakeside Point. This dedicated troupe have been with the festival for more than 20 years and have become such a necessary element in the smooth running of these large scale spectacle shows, that they are often invited to provide Safety and Security for most of the major festivals in the Florida area.

HISTORY OF CHIVALRY: History of Chivalry is our living history encampment dedicated to the preservation and demonstration of the arts and skills of the warrior knight. Twice daily our members will display combat fighting with live steel. An exciting blend of adventure and danger, experience the excitement of yesteryear. Watch their demonstrations in the jousting arena at 11:30 and 3:00.

THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE: During the 16th and 17th centuries, at the height of its power under the reign of Suleiman the Magnificent, the Ottoman Empire was a multinational, multilingual empire controlling much of Southeast Europe, parts of Central Europe, Western Asia, and North Africa.With Constantinople as its capital and control of lands around the Mediterranean basin, the Ottoman Empire was at the centre of interactions between the Eastern and Western worlds for six centuries. During various conflicts throughout Europe, great capitols rose and fell often loosing great libraries and other repositories of knowledge and cultural histories, leading to the period known as “The Dark Ages”. The Ottomans held and protected the accumulated knowledge of the greater world for centuries. As Europe entered into the Renaissance the Ottoman Empire began to share the arts, sciences and histories which they had so carefully maintained. It was through their influence that much of the cultural histories of great countries remain. The Ottomans were artists, scholars and philosophers of the highest calibre, generous with their knowledge and diplomatic with their strength.

Hear ye, Hear ye… yes, I’m talking to you.

It’s the 27th anniversary of The Florida Renaissance Festival, and this is our opening weekend. To guests new to our Faire, we welcome you to the village of

Kegsworthy. To our returning friends, welcome back. We are

sincerely happy to see you again.

WE PRESENT…16 stages of music and comedy plus dozens of individual musicians and village characters presenting shows and activities. 100 artists and master craftsmen fill our marketplace with beautiful and diverse wonders. There are games of skill, and hand powered rides of cunning complexity. We present an international palate of delicious foods and drink for your refreshment and delight. There are 7 living history encampments to experience the crafts and concerns of the renaissance and hundreds of villagers, servers and support personnel all dedicated to your comfort, your safety and your amusement. We have a promenade, we have a mud pit, we have an escape room puzzle, and we have a joust… A real, live joust… with horses, knights, swords and blood… so much blood, which is actually rather appropriate because it’s “GAME OF THRONES” WEEKEND and nothing says “village festival in the Renaissance” quite like a sporting bloodbath or a public execution.

For this weekend, we celebrate the warrior, the knight, the soldiers and squires, those strong and powerful men and women who protect, command and sacrifice. We are honored to share our village with the noble knights of MEDIEVAL TIMES DINNER THEATRE from the Kingdom of Orlando. These brave and noble gentlemen will present a thrilling demonstration of the skills of sword and shield. Come see these knights on Lakeside Point at 2:00 or on the Checkmate Stage at 4:00, and stop by their tent near the Checkmate Stage to meet the Knights during the day.

We still don’t know who will ultimately win the Iron Throne and rule the 7 kingdoms of Westeros, but we have our own Imperial monarchs who could take a fair shot at it.

Our king is Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, King of the Romans, King of the Germans, King of Italy, King of Spain, Duke of Burgundy, Archduke of Austria and Lord of the Netherlands. He’s a bit of an over-achiever.

Our Queen is Isabel, Princess of Portugal. She holds the titles of Empress, Queen of the Romans, Queen of Spain, and Italy, Germany, Naples, Sicily and a bunch of other places, Duchess of Burgundy and the ruling monarch and regent of Spain. She married very well.

So, God save the King, God bless the Queen and may Heaven smile upon all who enter our gates.

WELCOME TO THE 27TH YEAR OF THE FLORIDA RENAISSANCE FESTIVAL.
