Hoggetowne Medieval Faire returns to Depot Park for a weekend of festivities

  • The 39th annual Hoggetowne Medieval Faire will be held Jan. 24-25 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Depot Park in Gainesville.
  • The free event features artisans, medieval music, a living chessboard, royal knightings, and olde world demonstrations.
  • EZ Event Rides offers shuttle service from two downtown parking garages to Depot Park during the event.
  • The faire was condensed to a single weekend after moving to Depot Park in 2024 due to inability to fence off public park space.

The annual Hoggetowne Medieval Faire returns for its 39th year, transforming Depot Park in Gainesville into a “bastion of medieval revelry” for a single weekend.

The free event will run from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 24, and Sunday, Jan. 25, at 874 SE 4th St.

Rain or shine, Depot Park is expected to be filled with artisans and craftspeople, olde world demonstrations, food, medieval music and dance, a living chessboard and royal knighting ceremonies.
