Volunteers are hard at work preparing for the 27th annual Hoggetowne Medieval Faire, kicking off this weekend in Gainesville.

Actors hosted a dress rehearsal Sunday for anyone who wanted a sneak preview.

Local volunteers have been practicing since last fall in order to put together the fair's live entertainment.

The fair begins Saturday, January 26th at the Alachua County fairgrounds.
