Hoggetowne Medieval Faire may move to Gainesville Raceway

GAINESVILLE, Fla. (WCJB) - Plans are moving forward to relocate the Hoggetowne Medieval Faire to the Gainesville Raceway.

The space is available for $80,000 over two weekends early next year.

The plan will be presented to both Gainesville and Alachua County commissioners on Monday.

The move would substantially expand the number of performers, increasing the overall cost.

That would be offset by $25 event tickets.

The past two years, the faire was held at Depot Park, much smaller than venues in the past.
