The Gulf
Coast
Renaissance
Faire
At the Pensacola Fairgrounds
The earliest foundations of the Gulf
Coast lie within the Renaissance Era. It
started in the summer of 1559 when
Tristan de Luna sought to establish a
colony in the area now known as
Pensacola.

The new pioneers of history in Northwest
Florida are looking back to those
beginnings. In 2001 Steve Melei
established the first Gulf Coast
Renaissance Faire which was held on
the grounds of St. Anne's Church. After
the awful devastation of Hurricane Ivan,
the Faire found a new home at the
Interstate Fairgrounds.

This event rekindles a love of Pensacola
and an interest in local history. The fun,
fresh air and excercise of the event is
great for every age. Patrons are
encouraged to come in costume, as the
event seeks to forge new bonds between
the past and present.

Thousands will gather to witness the
spectacle of armored combat, the
thunderous clash of jousters, the swirl of
a dancer's costume and to sample the
wares of merchants who have traveled
from afar.

The Faire goes on, rain or shine, the first
weekend of March 2012. Come and meet
Their Majesties, see fabulous characters
and experience a historically good time!
