Sarasota Medieval Faire

I’m used to the Renaissance festival being held in the Spring. So when I heard there was a medieval faire being held «locally» in the Autumn, I decided I had to go.
Mind you, I remember when a festival was held on the grounds of the Ringling Museum, so I wasn’t sure what I was going to be expecting. What I found was a small, quite adorable faire.
There were several of the same performers that I’m used to at BARF, those are local acts. And there was the Joust (Which was very educational and not dusty at all), the Chess Match, the SCA area as well as the typical merchants, food vendors and what have you.
It was nice in the way that the grounds were kept. There was a tiny creek going through some of the land, a separate area that kept the joust field and the chess field from being on top of each other and allowed a safe pass way for patrons.
It is –small-​. It may not have a way to grow where it is currently located, but I liked what I saw, and I especially liked the music.
