Here ye! Here ye! All ye Kings and Queens, Knights and Nobles - and the rest of you wenches and barbarians! You are hereby notified by royal proclamation that your attendance is requested at the 27th annual Florida Renaissance Festival taking place from February 9th through March 24th, in the two-thousandth and eighteenth year A.D in the vast open land of Deerfield Beach's Quiet Waters Park. The iconic Florida Renaissance Festival will ring in its 27th season, with an extraordinary SEVEN weekends taking you on a fantastical journey back in time with a variety of fan favorite acts and performances.

Upon stepping inside the gates of our village, attendees will be transported back to 16th-century Europe where they will find jesters, jugglers and jousting knights along with music, costumed characters, human powered games, artisan craft shops and enough food & drink for a royal family feast! It's a full day of fun and entertainment where the entire family can experience the magic of the Renaissance era through an immersive interactive, real audience-participation scenario. The Florida Renaissance Festival has grown into one of the nation's most beloved events dedicated to recreating the historical era of the Renaissance, each year adding more entertainment and themed weekends while welcoming a crowd that has swelled over the years to nearly 100,000 annual attendees, and with more than two million people having participated over the course of the Festival's 26 years.

"Being able to provide this alternate universe where attendees can immerse themselves in the rich history that is the Renaissance is something my team and I take great pride in," said Bobby Rodriguez, Founder and Producer of the Florida Renaissance Festival. "We are proud to have the continuous support of the county, the city and our community which enables us to grow this event each year, resulting in a culturally enriching festival for people of all ages." Rodriguez has continuously raised the bar when it comes to incorporating new experiences into the Festival. Through his forward-thinking, he has set the standard for festivals of this nature to go "beyond Renaissance" by booking a variety of acts ranging from the Orient to Africa, as well as diversified themed weekends. In fact, this year's Festival will introduce two newly themed weekends!
