2025 Entertainment Lineup

The Bawdy Boys

Absolutely catchy and unbearably filthy, the music of The Bawdy Boys will grab you and not let go. They have dedicated their craft to reproduce the kind of music you’d enjoy whilst being shanked in a salty sailors bar off the coast of Lake Michigan, and are proud to bring it to the Brevard Renaissance Fair.

Harrmony Crewe

Join Harrmony Crewe for Shanties and Shenanigans! From simple sing-alongs to rich harmonies and silly spectacle, these melodious marauders make mellifluous mayhem that is sure to set toes tapping, hands clapping, and leave you singing as you swab the deck or sail into the sunset. Keep a sharp eye, too, for their Ratstacle course that might also appear throughout the day for young (and young at heart) pirates. Can you navigate the obstacles without dropping your wee ratty or contracting the plague?

Wheel of Death

Prepare for an adrenaline-pumping experience like no other with Ichabod Wainright's Wheel of Death! Featuring the country's only wooden wheel of death, Ichabod will amaze you as he skips rope and juggles flaming axes. Get ready for a heart-pounding, edge-of-your-seat show that's guaranteed to leave you breathless.

Saturday Knights

After the gates close, we are excited to host 6 amazing special events, one each Saturday night. And, best of all, the events are now included with your fair admission. The Saturday Knight events will begin at 7:30 pm unless otherwise noted.

February 1st: Socks in The Frying Pan

Socks in the Frying Pan, a multi-award-winning trio from Ennis, County Clare, Ireland—the mecca of Irish traditional music—was formed in 2014. Forged together by a fire of pure joy and passion for their art, the band comprises Aodan Coyne on guitar and lead vocals, Shane Hayes on accordion, and younger brother Fiachra Hayes on fiddle.

Their ‘Socks Sound’ combines virtuosic musicianship with a burning passion for the music and tradition, pitch-perfect harmonies, and a big splash of quick wit and banter. Their electrifying performances and on-stage charm have established them as the kingpins on the Irish Traditional Music scene today.

They have toured extensively, capturing hearts in 46 US states, dozens of countries, and every continent, showcasing at renowned festivals such as the Walnut Valley Festival in Kansas, Electric Picnic in Ireland, Tønder Festival in Denmark, and the world-famous New Orleans Jazz Festival.

To date, Socks in the Frying Pan have released three studio albums, each adding to their list of accolades including ‘Best New Band‘, ‘Best Live Band‘, ‘Album of the Year‘, and ‘Best Live Performance of the Year‘. Their latest release, Raw & Ríl, recorded live at Glór Theatre, was immediately awarded ‘Best Live Album‘.
