BLACK FRIDAY SALE: 25% OFF Space Coast Renaissance Fair Tickets This Friday Only!

AT Space Coast Daily Park in Viera, January 10, 11, 17 and 18

BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – The Space Coast Renaissance Fair, which will bring all the sights and sounds of the Renaissance to Space Coast Daily Park in Viera, January 10, 11, 17, and 18, is having a special Black Friday sale this Friday, November 29, 2025. 

Blend history with folklore, add colorful characters and costumes in generous portions, sprinkle an immersive storyline, and present in the centerpiece of a location right at the center of the Space Coast: that’s the winning recipe that Brevard Productions, Inc. and the Orlando Renaissance Festival have created for the Space Coast Renaissance Fair.

Giles Malone, co-founder of Brevard Productions with Space Coast Daily and Space Coast Medicine president and publisher Tom Palermo, has tapped the considerable expertise of Orlando Renaissance Festival founder Kira Phillips, who developed the Orlando Renaissance Festival into an entertainment staple. “It’s a pairing made in heaven,” Malone said.

The term “Renaissance” signals a time of innovation and advancement, as is indeed happening at the Space Coast Renaissance Fair.

The event takes place from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. during the winter weekends of January 10-11 and January 17-18 at Space Coast Daily Park, 5775 Stadium Parkway in Viera.

The eclectic, alluring mashup of history and myth is being orchestrated by two groups known for delivering quality yet affordable entertainment.

Brevard Productions, Inc., east central Florida’s premier events and sports management company, has for five decades entertained the Space Coast with blockbusters such as the annual Space Coast State Fair, the Palm Bay Fair, the Key Lime Pie Festival, the Strawberry Festival and more, plus hosted concerts of A-list stars, including Willie Nelson, the Beach Boys and Lee Greenwood, to name a few.

Kira Phillips has recruited an impressive team of creatives and talent to ensure the fair’s success. A specialty scenic painter at Epcot, Phillips earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in theater design.

To satisfy her interest in all things Renaissance, she attended “Ren” fairs across the state, where she discovered a strange phenomenon. “I was driving three, four, and five hours to these events and kept seeing people from Orlando,” she said.

“I realized we needed to fill the gap here in Orlando.” And so she did, with an event that draws approximately 10,000 each year. Her approach is to blend historical with folklore, and, most importantly, give free rein to her patrons when it comes to costumes. “Our patrons come in whatever garb they would like,” Phillips said, adding that around 80 percent of attendees to the Orlando event arrive in costumes that run the gamut of cosplay. “We welcome everyone.”

Phillips expects Space Coast patrons to embrace the freedom to dress up as their favorite characters. She is finessing the program to keep everyone in the family happy. “Kira and her team come from a very creative, theatrical environment, and they’re excellent at what they do,” Malone added.

“With our venue and experience and their expertise, we knew we had the right recipe for a very memorable event.”

Attendees won’t have to drive far for the fun of the fair. Located in the center of the county and in proximity to Interstate 95, the 50-acre Space Coast Daily Park offers easy access and plenty of parking to let the magic begin as soon as possible. Welcoming guests to their Viera “Castle” will be renowned hosts Count Victor and Countess Celeste de Viera, centerpieces of this year’s immersive storyline.

The noble couple is eager to celebrate the beginning of a new year with the thousands of guests they have invited, and they are prepared to put on a grand show with the finest in live performances by a handpicked cast of artists, interactive shows to engage the audience, and a bounty of food, libations, and souvenirs.

Featured guest, and alleged protector of the peace, is the Sheriff of Nottingham, who, at the bidding of the Count and Countess, will bring his entourage to maintain law and order and prevent ruffians such as Robin Hood from wreaking havoc. Is the Sheriff the hero in this retelling of the legend?

Alas, the duplicitous Sheriff and his gang are still not to be trusted and are bent on plundering the riches of Viera. It is again up to Robin and his Merry Men to save the day and outwit the evil Sheriff in a game of fought upon the Chessboard Stage. Will good Robin prevail? Time will tell if you attend the Fair.

For a mere $27.03, or $16.62 if you happen to be 12 and under, you can join the Count and Countess for a day. Still, because one day is not enough to enjoy the cornucopia of entertainment, options for two, three, and four-day passes are available and highly affordable.

Admission provides a full day of entertainment featuring more than 100 professional performers, from acrobats to tavern wenches, dressed in authentic period costumes. Delicious food, plentiful shopping, and hearty drinks abound.

Speaking of hearty drinking, the Space Coast Renaissance Fair will feature twice-daily pub crawls led by The Wyrd Friends, revelers eternally at the ready for a good time.

“They’ll play games, sing songs, and have much merriment,” Phillips said. The audience will also enjoy a drink, or make that three drinks, as the $35 tickets to the pub crawl entitle each guest to three beers or ciders, plus appetizers, during the one-hour VIP crawl.

Noble steeds, a staple of Ren fairs, will be at the Space Coast, of course. Action-packed theatrical jousting show Equus Nobilis will display astounding horse skills and ground combat abilities.

Professional acts from around the country, as well as 70 members of the Lance Orlando troupe, will perform for the crowds. Scheduled to appear are performers such as Ses Carny, who has been known to pound a nail into his head, but will tackle the “safer” skills of fire juggling and knife throwing this time around.

Lance Orlando is a nonprofit organization making live combat entertainment accessible to a broad audience.

Because folks in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance didn’t shy away from bawdiness, the Space Coast Renaissance Fair will feature special “risque” entertainment for grownups 18 and up. But not to worry, for while the adults will have their special place, most of the entertainment is family-friendly.

Phillips likes to continue the illusion with the food and drink available at the Fair, selecting vendors who deliver gustatory delights in keeping with the theme. She also anticipates 70 to 80 crafts, gifts, and souvenir vendors, all carefully curated.

“We prioritize goods and crafts handmade by the seller,” she said. Attendees can expect everything from clothing and toys to leather and wood goods. “This is a massive amount of vendors for a first-year event,” she said. “It speaks to the strength of the partnership we have forged.”

Huzzah, fair lords and ladies! With Space Coast Renaissance Fair, January should bring “all the joy that you can wish,” as that quintessential Ren guy, William Shakespeare, would have put it.
