The Florida Renaissance Festival is returning to South Florida for its 20th year of family fun and entertainment. In celebration of its milestone anniversary, the Florida Renaissance Festival is bringing back fan favorites from years past, including performances by Cast in Bronze, the only musical act in the world featuring a four-ton instrument known as the “Carillon”, the Tyco Drummers and for a special opening weekend appearance, from Scotland, Albannach!

The splendor of the Renaissance era will take over Quiet Waters Park in Deerfield Beach for five exciting weekends, beginning February 11th, 2012. Guests can browse through the enchanted craft village, where more than 100 artisans and merchants will demonstrate and sell their wares. Twelve stages of entertainment will host a variety of performances, including the critically acclaimed “Musical Macbeth.” William Shakespeare’s classic tale of ambition, magic and murder will be told in a 30-minute whirlwind of Broadway showtunes, pop hits and slapstick comedy.

“The Florida Renaissance Festival is a South Florida tradition that has delighted fans of all ages for many years,” said Bobby Rodriguez, executive producer of the Florida Renaissance Festival. “We are excited to celebrate our 20th anniversary by bringing back many of our fans’ favorite acts and experiences.”
