The moment you step through the gates of the Alabama Medieval Fantasy Festival and into the Kingdom of Dragon Croft, the technological, digitally-addicted, 21st Century life as you know it starts to vanish into the cool, wooded landscape and your transition to the year 817 begins. Although we take a broad sweep of history embracing from Vikings to King Arthur and from Robin Hood through Queen Elizabeth or about 800 - 1600 AD, our event is based in the 800's.
