Ever wanted to meet a queen, drink mead, and cheer on a joustβall in one afternoon? Then the St. Petersburg Renaissance Faire is calling your name. Weβre talking themed weekends, Shakespeare, pub songs, pirates, and yesβplenty of giant turkey legs!
Itβs the kind of event where costumes are encouraged, the energy is high, and the parkingβ¦ well, letβs just say itβs not exactly royal.
Thatβs where we come in. At Beach Ride Rental, we make getting to the faire way more fun (and way less stressful) with our street-legal golf carts.
Want to arrive in comfort, skip the long walk from distant lots, and turn heads as you pull up to the gates? Book your golf cart nowβtrust us, youβll be glad you did, since once you do that, all youβll have to worry about are the St petersburg Renaissance Faire tickets.

Letβs start with the basics: the St. Petersburg Renaissance Faire is running every weekend from April 19 to May 11, 2025, and the vibe is total immersion.Β
Themed weekends keep things freshβlike Pirate Weekend (complete with a βTalk Like a Pirateβ contest), May Day celebrations, and even a Romance Weekend with vow renewals. Easter weekend has family-friendly games and, of course, an adults-only βKeg Hunt.β
Each day is packed with jousts, wandering performers, and more than 100 live shows across multiple stages, and some iconic St petersburg renaissance faire rides.
Shopping for costumes? Youβll find cloaks, corsets, crowns, and more. Hungry? The food stands are overflowing with classic faire treatsβfrom fried onion blossoms to the legendary turkey leg. And if youβre thirsty, head to one of the three on-site taverns for a pint of ale or a frosty Rum Runner.
And donβt miss the St. Petersburg Renaissance Faire rides sprinkled throughout the groundsβthink axe-throwing, archery, and even some medieval-style amusements for the little ones!
Hereβs the not-so-fun part: parking at the faire is limited, and on busy themed weekends, it fills up fast. Unless youβve got premium parking (and even thenβ¦), be prepared to walkβpossibly in full armor or a velvet gown.
Now imagine rolling up in a golf cart. Thatβs where things get better:
Golf carts can fit in smaller spaces and are easier to maneuver near the entranceβespecially if you live nearby or can find street parking a bit farther out.
Florida heat plus costume layers? Yikes. A golf cart keeps you breezy and unbothered as you roll up to the gates looking fresh.
Our golf carts can seat 4 to 6 people, and child seats are available upon request, so the whole crew can ride together.
Letβs be realβpulling up in a decked-out golf cart? Kind of iconic.
Just note: carts stay outside the faire grounds (foot traffic only inside), but youβll appreciate that smooth ride to and from the action more than you think.

If youβre heading to the St. Petersburg Renaissance Faire, trust usβyouβre not going to want to deal with last-minute parking drama or long treks in costume. Thatβs why renting a golf cart from Beach Ride Rental is the move.
We offer:
The faire only happens once a year. Make your visit smooth, stylish, and unforgettableβbook your golf cart today and arrive like royalty.
Anything comfortable! Costumes are encouraged but not required. Think light, breathable fabrics and good walking shoes. Many people wear period outfits, but modern clothing is totally fine too.

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortiumβs (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the websiteβs UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the websiteβs HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If youβve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, weβll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the websiteβs operators by using the following email
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the websiteβs functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Hereβs how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the websiteβs components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all the websiteβs images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the websiteβs HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as βMβ (menus), βHβ (headings), βFβ (forms), βBβ (buttons), and βGβ (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers).
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs. There may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
