This year’s storyline follows the twists and turns of court intrigue when the Duchess’ birthday festival is thrown into chaos by Lady Morgause asserting her son’s right to rule over the kingdom. In light of this, King Arthur descends upon Orlando searching for answers from the city’s famous dragon. Got it? Verily!
For two days, festival-goers can shop from a plethora of vendors, including Dragon Pretzels, Arcanum Emporia and Mother Bookworm Ceramics. Test your medieval abilities in knife-throwing, a swordmaster’s challenge and a game or two of Peasant’s Revenge. Or just sit back and watch feats from acrobats, performance group LANCE Orlando, cosplayers like the Monsters Guild, and perhaps even the Duke and Duchess.
10 a.m. Saturday-Sunday, Dec. 14-15, Southport Community Park, 3437 Barnstable Place, orlandorenaissancefestival.com, $20-$80.
