What Patrons Are Saying!
Had a fantastic time at the faire the last two weekends. I am looking forward to coming back the last two weekends as well. The entertainers are all very talented in their own ways and make the faire so very much more enjoyable when the talent is great. A large assortment of vendors peddling all sorts of wares. Some great, some amazing and creative and beautiful. The special production of "Julias Caesar" was wonderfully entertaining! Definitely one of the high points of the day, and a perfect way to end the day.

Perfect day out with the family! Lots of great entertainment and wonderful vendors.

Had an awesome time there. The new Dade City venue I think is more spacious than in Tampa and it's not a bad drive. The on-line services make it easy to get your tickets ahead of time so entry was a breeze. Always be sure to get your mead on, lol!
