One Weekend of
Medieval Merriment
Living Chessboard Audition Information

Though we lament the inability to secure a site for the traditional three weekends of the Hoggetowne Medieval Faire, we bring thee tidings of a temporary solution that shall not leave thee bereft of merriment.

Behold, as the Hoggetowne Medieval Faire transforms Gainesville’s Depot Park into a bastion of medieval revelry on January 24-25 from 10am-6pm. 

Artisans and craftspeople shall ply their trades with skill, olde world demonstrations shall enchant, and the clash of swords in stage combat shall resonate through the air. Medieval music and dance shall lift thy spirits, and a living chessboard shall unfold its strategic dance. Witness royal knighting ceremonies with the King and Queen, indulge in food court favorites, and savor the timeless delight of turkey legs!

May the spirit of merriment and camaraderie prevail as we embark on this adventure, and may the echoes of the medieval revelry resound through Gainesville’s Depot Park in celebration of 39 years of grand tradition!
