The Alabama Renaissance Faire is a Renaissance fair held annually in downtown Florence, Alabama, in Wilson Park.
Details
Alabama Renaissance Faire has been a celebration of Florence's "Renaissance City" identity since 1987,[1] and averages between 30 and 40,000 participants every year.[1] Activities taking place during the fair include arts and crafts, magicians, historical event reenactments, and musical performances.[1] The fair takes place yearly on the fourth weekend in October.[1] The Alabama Renaissance Faire is free and charges no admission fees to the public. No faire was held in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Faire is unique in that the Monarch rotates every year and is chosen at the Renaissance Feast that precedes the Faire by one week. The Monarch chooses the theme for the faire for that year, and is permitted to leave the throne in whatever way they choose. [1]
