In a heartfelt message to loyal fans and supporters, Brevard Renaissance Fair founder Pete announced the event’s departure from Brevard County after more than a decade of bringing medieval magic to the Space Coast. Citing restrictions on the current venue that hindered future growth, the beloved fair is now seeking a permanent home outside the county — with plans already underway for a reimagined return in a brand new location. The next fair is scheduled for January 17 through February 22, 2026, promising a bigger and bolder experience for its devoted community.

To Our BRF Family,
I want to speak to you all directly, because for over a decade, you’ve been the lifeblood of the Brevard Renaissance Fair.

We’ve hit a crossroads. Due to restrictions placed on our site, we were no longer able to host the fair and the many other gatherings, shows, and festivals we dreamed of bringing you — the very events that we envisioned for Castle Park: a home for laughter, craft, music, and memories all year long. Staying wasn’t sustainable, so we made the hard call to move on.
And that means exactly what it sounds like: we will be leaving Brevard County. As hard as that is to say, it’s the only way forward for us to continue growing, creating, and celebrating together without limitations.
And while that’s disappointing — believe me, it stings — I’m thrilled to share that we are already forging toward greener pastures. We are on the verge of securing a permanent home for the fair — a place where we can dream bigger, build more, and genuinely make magic year after year. Your belief in us, your cheers, and your unwavering support have been the inspiration that keeps us moving forward when the road gets rough.
So mark your calendars, polish your armor, and oil your lutes — the next Brevard Renaissance Fair will run from January 17th through February 22nd, 2026 — in a brand new home we can finally call ours.
The details must stay under wraps for now (secrets and scrolls, you know how it is), but know this: the next chapter of BRF will be bolder, brighter, and built to last.
Keep your swords sharp and your mugs ready — because when we plant our flag, it will be somewhere we can grow for years to come.
Thank you for standing with us — your cheers, loyalty, and love make this dream possible. Please support us by following, sharing, and keeping the spirit of BRF alive in your hearts and timelines. The best is yet to come.
