Brevard Renaissance Fair

📣 Entertainment Leadership Announcement

Heritage Horizons Event Management is pleased to announce that Debra Thornton has accepted the position of Entertainment Director.

Debra has been part of our Renaissance Festival family for more than 12 years, dating back to the earliest Dragon Festival days. Her lifelong involvement in entertainment has taken her from Europe to New York and ultimately to Florida, where many know her through her work as a voice instructor and as the director of the talented Youth in Harmony singers.

Debra was selected not only because of her extensive entertainment experience and long history with our organization, but also because of our vision for the future of DragonBridge Farms.

While the Treasure Coast Renaissance Festival will be one of our signature events, DragonBridge Farms is being developed as a year-round agritourism destination that will host festivals, entertainment programs, educational activities, agricultural experiences, seasonal celebrations, and community events throughout the year. With her close proximity to the site and strong connections throughout the performing arts community, Debra is uniquely positioned to help us build those programs and relationships as we grow.

We would also like to extend our sincere thanks to Andrew Mead for his years of dedicated service as Entertainment Director. Through venue changes, weather challenges, COVID, permitting obstacles, and countless other challenges, Andrew helped guide our entertainment program and support performers through some of the most difficult periods in our organization's history. His contributions have helped shape what we are today, and we are grateful for his years of service and friendship.

Please join us in thanking Andrew and congratulating Debra on her new role.

🎭 Welcome, Debra, and thank you, Andrew! 🎭

One step at a time… power is on the way. ⚡

After years of running generators, chasing fuel, dealing with breakdowns, and replacing equipment season after season, it is exciting to finally start bringing permanent infrastructure online at DragonBridge Farms.

This is one of those behind-the-scenes milestones most people will never see — but it changes everything for the future:
🏰 Festivals
🌱 Farm operations
🚐 Camping
🎭 Entertainment
🍷 Meadery & future expansion

The vision is slowly becoming reality.

While many friends, cast, vendors, and supporters from the Brevard Renaissance Fair community have followed this journey, DragonBridge Farms, Treasure Coast Renaissance Festival, and Heritage Horizons Holdings are entirely new and separate operations with their own structure, location, management, and long-term plans.

Progress may not always be fast… but it is finally moving forward.

EDIT: Sorry, we first posted an internal notice to our entertainers instead of our intended post for our patrons. Apparently, we can't do anything right. 😬

Our Revels Now Are Ended

It is with our utmost regret and sorrow that we are forced to announce that the 2026 Brevard Renaissance Faire is cancelled.

You may wonder why we’ve waited for so long to make this announcement.

Our team worked tirelessly all year to find a suitable property. Up until mid-November, that search did not bear fruit, and we made preperations to announce this season’s closure.

But then we found something good. Something perfect. But we had to wait. These things do not happen fast, but every indicator pointed towards the success of this deal.

Up until 6:00 PM tonight we were confident that we would reach a deal on our new temproary location, but we have received word that it will not be possible for this year.

With that, we are no longer confident we can find suitable property with sufficient time to put on a production.

We’re sorry you waited. Thank you for believing. A lifetime can be a long time, even though our days often feel short. Count those short days down, because we plan on coming back in 2027 and staying for a lifetime. With any luck, we’ll never have to write a letter like this again.

Any artisans, crew, or entertainers with questions about next steps, please direct them to your department head, not our DMs or comments. Thank you.

With Love,

Peter and the BRF Team
