Step back in time to the Romantic age of Geoffrey Chaucer at the Second annual Acadiana Medieval Faire. The Acadiana Medieval faire is a recreation of a medieval spring market faire similar to those found during the late gothic period of continental Europe. Historically these faires were seasonal and most towns had at least two a year. Delight in their tales as you shop in a unique medieval-style market place, listen to authentic early music, watch a show from the Middle Ages, or delight in the spicy food that is the trade mark of Cajun Country.
