The Palm Coast Strawberry Festival is in its 8th year, and it is held at the Florida Agricultural Museum, in Palm Coast, FL. The two days of family fun include live music, arts and crafts, monster truck rides, bungee jump, frisbee dog show, pony rides, bounce houses, and so much more. Bring the whole family for a fun filled weekend.
Celebrating its 63rd Anniversary, the Art Fiesta is organized by the City of New Smyrna Beach Leisure Services. Is held New Smyrna Beach’s downtown area along scenic Riverside Drive. Art Fiesta is a fun open-air event that showcases the artistic works of over 240 different artists and craft makers from throughout the state of Florida and beyond. During the event, the area around Riverside Drive shuts down to traffic for the art show and becomes an open air gallery and market.
It's faire time once again! The Gulf Coast Renaissance Faire and Pirate Festival will be held two consecutive weekends at the Five Flags Speedway, in Pensacola, FL. Being coupled with a Wild West Round-up, this two weekend event is a mirror into the past, celebrating the history and heritage of Medieval Europe as well as the 16th-century Gulf Coast. Come see Sword-fighters, Jesters, Jugglers, Fire-breathers, Full Metal Jousting and so much more. You have the option of trying your hand at archery or ax-throwing.
