This Year's 20th Anniversary Scenario - Tournament of the Ages!
Celebrate with us on our 20th year as Merlin and Morgan le Fay travel through time to face off and settle the score. Along with some new, never before seen faces, they will call upon the greatest heroes and villains who have performed at our festival over our past 20 years to stand by their sides in battle - who will you offer your allegiance to…good or evil? At the end of the day there can only be one victor…so choose wisely.

It's your last chance to purchase some pretty presents, and to enjoy the festivities and frivolity of the 20th Season of the Sarasota Medieval Fair!
