Sarasota Medieval Fair – REVIEW
Joust Do It, The Sarasota Medieval Fair Delivers Knightly Fun, Enchanting Performances, Medieval Feasts, Unique Activities, and Timeless Family Memories in a Magical, Community-Filled Setting.
November 30th, 2024
The Sarasota Medieval Fair, now celebrating its 20th year, invites visitors of all ages to immerse themselves in the vibrant, lively world of medieval times. Held on a permanent 47-acre site, the Faire distinguishes itself with permanent structures like pubs, a chessboard arena, and an inviting front gate. These features create a welcoming and familiar atmosphere for returning guests while introducing new surprises every year. Thousands of attendees come each day, many dressed as knights, nobles, or fantasy characters, adding to the festive ambiance.

The Faire is brimming with activities for guests to enjoy. Visitors can try their hand at archery, axe throwing, and star tossing, or explore the Children’s Realm, where little ones can meet St. Nicholas or even hold small pigs. For animal lovers, the Faire offers opportunities to ride llamas and marvel at a variety of entertainment acts. Celtic and Greek music, pyro displays, acrobatics, whips, sword swallowing, and comedic performances captivate audiences of all ages, creating an atmosphere of wonder and delight. The artistry doesn’t stop there—guests can also watch skilled steelworkers or browse through numerous unique vendors offering festival-perfect wares.

Food and drink are just as diverse, with an array of medieval-inspired options such as turkey legs, fish, and vegetarian dishes. Guests can enjoy twice-daily pub crawls through the Fair’s three permanent pubs, a spirited way to explore the grounds and soak in the revelry.

Signature events like the joust and the live-action chess match remain highlights of the experience. The joust showcases knights on horseback clashing in thrilling tests of skill and bravery, while the chess match pits historical figures against one another in theatrical displays of strategy and combat. These spectacles are complemented by a rotating lineup of performers from across the country, ensuring a dynamic and fresh experience with every visit.

The Sarasota Medieval Fair stands out for its ability to transport visitors to another era, offering a break from the everyday and a chance to step into a world of magic and camaraderie. Artistic director Rod McInnis described the Faire as a place where guests can leave their worries behind and immerse themselves in the wonderment of the medieval atmosphere. Whether testing their skills, enjoying the lively performances, or simply soaking up the community spirit, attendees of all ages are sure to find something to love.

For a one-of-a-kind adventure filled with history, fantasy, and entertainment, the Sarasota Medieval Faire is not to be missed. Learn more and plan your visit at Sarasota Medieval Fair.

Luli Fama Launches Paradise Found Cruise ’27 Swimwear Collection in Miami
Luli Fama celebrates its Paradise Found Cruise ’27 swimwear and resortwear collection with a luxury Miami launch at its Dadeland Mall boutique.
August 20, 2026
Miami swimwear favorite Luli Fama is stepping into Cruise ’27 with Paradise Found, a new swimwear and resortwear collection inspired by tropical escapes, exotic prints and effortless vacation glamour.
South Florida Insider has already taken a closer look at the Luli Fama Paradise Found collection, and it feels made for Miami.
The new Cruise ’27 collection combines the bold, body-confident swimwear Luli Fama is known for with elevated resort pieces designed to move effortlessly from the beach and pool to cocktails and dinner.
On Thursday, August 20, Luli Fama will celebrate Paradise Found with an exclusive evening at its newest Dadeland Mall boutique in Miami, complete with fashion, light bites, personalized surprises, and a luxe espresso martini bar.
Inside Luli Fama’s Paradise Found Cruise ’27 Collection
Paradise Found is inspired by the feeling of discovering a hidden tropical retreat.
Think lush landscapes, warm golden hour light, exotic patterns, and silhouettes made for somewhere beautiful.
The collection features Luli Fama signatures, including flattering ruched details, seamless construction, adjustable fits, and statement swimwear, alongside an expanded selection of resortwear.
We especially love the pieces that blur the line between swim and ready-to-wear.
Flowing dresses, sleek coverups, and body-skimming silhouettes make it easy to transition from a sun-drenched afternoon to an evening out without losing that relaxed resort feeling.
It is sensual, polished, and unmistakably Miami.
Luli Fama Brings Luxury Resort Style to Miami
There is a reason Paradise Found feels so natural in South Florida.
In Miami, resortwear is not reserved for vacation.
A swimsuit can become part of an outfit. A coverup can take you to lunch. A flowing resort dress can carry you from an afternoon by the water straight into cocktails and dinner.
Luli Fama has always understood that lifestyle.
Paradise Found takes it a step further, creating a Cruise ’27 wardrobe that feels as appropriate for a tropical getaway as it does for a weekend in Miami.
The campaign captures that mood beautifully, pairing the collection with palms, lush greenery, tropical architecture and the kind of sun soaked setting that makes you want to extend your vacation indefinitely.
Paradise Found Comes to Luli Fama at Dadeland Mall
Luli Fama will bring the world of Paradise Found to life on Thursday, August 20 from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM at its newest boutique at Dadeland Mall in Miami.
The intimate celebration will bring together invited guests, influencers, celebrities and media for an early look at Cruise ’27.
Luli Fama is also dressing invited guests in pieces from the brand, allowing the new collection to be experienced the way it was designed to be worn: in motion, styled and out for the evening.
Luli After Hours Espresso Martini Bar
Fashion is only part of the experience.
For the Paradise Found celebration, Luli Fama is introducing Luli After Hours, an Espresso Martini Bar inspired by the glamour of the collection.
Guests will be able to sip three specialty espresso martinis created for the evening.
The Luli Babe puts a polished spin on the classic espresso martini, while Golden Hour pairs salted caramel with edible gold shimmer. Miami After Dark takes a richer approach with chocolate hazelnut and a cocoa dust finish.
Along with cocktails, guests can expect light bites, curated details and a special personalized surprise.
The result feels less like a traditional retail event and more like checking into a private resort for the evening.
A Miami Swimwear Brand Celebrates at Home
For a brand with such a strong connection to South Florida, launching Paradise Found in Miami feels especially fitting.
Luli Fama has built its identity around colorful, confident swimwear and resort fashion with a distinctly tropical point of view.
Paradise Found carries that identity into Cruise ’27 while giving it a more elevated, escapist mood.
And with Luli Fama’s newest boutique now at Dadeland Mall, Miami shoppers have another destination to experience the brand in person.
After getting our own closer look at Luli Fama’s Paradise Found Cruise ’27 collection, we can safely say the name fits.
Paradise has officially been found, and this time, it is in Miami.
