Deerfield Beach Time Travels with 32nd Florida Renaissance Festival at Quiet Waters ParkSource: Facebook/The Florida Renaissance Festival

Time to ditch your smartphones and grab a turkey leg, because the Florida Renaissance Festival is taking Deerfield Beach on a whimsical ride to the past. The 32nd iteration of this beloved event has officially flung open its gates at Quiet Waters Park, according to WSVN, with a lineup of themed weekends that are set to sprinkle some old-world charm on your modern life.

The festival began its journey this year on February 3, and promises to keep delightfully ensnaring visitors with its medieval shenanigans through March 24. Each weekend has been carefully crafted to feature a unique theme, from the magic-inspired "Cauldron of Chaos" to the buccaneer bash "Scoundrels of the High Seas," reports Local 10. These themed escapades pledge to not just entertain, but fully immerse visitors in a kaleidoscope of times past.

For those wondering what to expect, you're in for a treat. Well beyond simply throwing it back to the Renaissance, guests can expect performances, ye olde vendors, and quests that might make you seriously consider trading in your car for a noble steed. And yes, while it might be tempting to stay in Bard character perpetually after the experience, the festival does have an end date. So, sharpen your lances, or rather your credit cards, because this trip across the centuries is one for the books.

They're a reasonable $32 for adults and $14 for kiddos aged six to eleven - you can safely leave your doubloons at home. There's even a golden ticket of sorts; a seasonal pass available running you about $160 for adults and $70 for the little squires, quickly proving to be a fan favorite for Time Lords and Ladies who plan to return more than once. And let's be honest, with a finale weekend titled "Into the Woods," the question isn't if you'll want to come back, it's how could you possibly resist?

So if you're looking to break free from the drudgery of modern life and dive headfirst, into some historical revelry, grab your cape and head to Deerfield Beach. The festival runs from 10 a.m. to sunset, leaving plenty of time to joust, jest, and jig to your heart's content.
