Brevard Renaissance Fair - Melbourne, Florida

Always a fabulous time at the Ren Fair! I love seeing everyone dressed up in their medieval outfits. I meet lots of interesting people when I go to this event. Great food and drink options, unique vendors and plenty of handmade jewelry and fashion. The musical performances are fantastic as well! Huzzah!

We had so much fun this year during Viking week! The fair has gotten significantly better since its first year. The events are higher quality and much more entertaining than they were before, and the food and drink options have also gotten substantially better.

I look forward to this every year. I wish it was year round or longer even though it is such a treat to have it for an entire month. I just wish I could be there whenever I wanted! It's so special and magical.

It is fairly expensive and I have saved up each year since I originally went. However the performances and shows are outstanding. I absolutely love Lady of the fountain and Cirque de Sewer and the jousting shows. Those are my favorites.

When the weather is nice I would stay from opening to close, however since this month has been nothing but rain and dampness I wonder if there is something they can do to invest in it being more rain friendly. I want this faire to continue to grow and therefore I support the amazing vendors and don't mind the ticket price for my husband and I. I can see where it would be quite challenging as a family to attend and therefore I believe more options inside the faire that don't cost more would be highly beneficial.

I love this place and the team that runs it, and If I wasn't a full time worker I could see myself working here or volunteering. Please support your local community of arts!!!

Really a lovely faire. We used to live in Central Texas and had the pleasure of attending Sherwood Forrest Faire, which is truly in the middle of the forrest, and I have to be honest that Brevard faire does not feel like that. It's harder to immerse yourself at this faire because none of the structures are period or permanent. It's in the middle of a park that is not very dense with trees, but there are enough to make for a lovely location. The people, performers, artisans, cast members, workers, and attendees really make up for any esthetical qualms I had with their heart. It's so much fun and is a must-see spot for anyone who enjoys faires. Very inclusive, family friendly, and a ton of fun.

Free parking, entry price is only $22 if you purchase ahead online. Food is a little pricey, as are drinks, but that's how these kinds of awesome events are paid for! Bring cash, and lots of ones for tipping the awesome performers. Expect to see glass blowing, metalworking, leatherwork, weapons, amazing clothes, jewelry, witchy stuff, acrobats, comedians, musicians and more! Five stars!

My friend and I had a great time at the renfest today. My only complaint is all of the mud everywhere and the fact that it was a bit difficult to find the shows we wanted to watch. Apart from that, the venue is big and there is lots to do and see for people of all ages. There seemed to be an adequate number of vendors. However, many of the of the vendors wore carbon copies of each other with little more to offer than the previous.

First time I ever went to a Renaissance Festival anywhere and will not be the last. The nicest people at that event and what an incredible range of fun things to do! Went there for three weekends in a row and still didn't get to see and do everything that was available! Was able to find a kilt from one of the vendors that matches our clan family name from Scotland and those people were awesome!

The music was over the top fantastic the entire weekend as well! Really enjoyed the mermaids the pirate area and the people selling incense an essential oils. But I could go on and on and on with all the great experiences. They do not charge for parking which is very nice. You can get beer and wine and Mead if you like that and there is food available also. The general entertainment was widely varied but always extremely entertaining and in all honesty it was one of the best experiences I've ever had doing anything!

100% FANTASTIC!

We love going to the Renaissance Fair and seeing the amazing shows and entertainment. This is our third year attending the fair and we love the Pub crawl Huzzah!

Amazing event for the all ages! Tons of shows throughout the day with plenty of food, music, and games options. U can spend a few hours to the whole day if you wanted. Lots of people dress up but you don't have to.
