Amazing! We go a few times every year. Absolutely fun to be transported back in time. The festival is beautiful. Great people. Awesome entertainment. Good food and spirits. Beautiful crafts and many artisans. If you have never been you should give it a try. Highly recommended.

It was our first time there and we had a ton of fun! The area is set up like a little village with different buildings and stages, and plenty of it is in the shade if you want to avoid the sun! There are all kinds of shows going on all the …

First time here and I have to say I wasnt sure what to expect but I was pleasantly surprised. I had a great time and enjoyed the different shows and displays they had. There were a lot of people there but it was pretty easy to make your way around. One thing I would complain about was that it was not a non smoking event which I did not like. I have medical issues and can't deal with cigarette smoke and it was everywhere. Also, there was no one directing traffic on the way out so we did have to wait an hour in the line when we went to leave which was a good hour before the event was ending. Other than that though it was pretty cool. We got to see some cool birds, and I even held an owl for a $10 donation. And my favorite show was the "Washer Wenches"! They were hilarious! Definitely a good time and worth the trip to check out all the cool stuff there.

A few years ago, I got a corset from a store that I was VERY happy with. One of the fasteners on it has recently broken off, and I don't remember the store name. It's the one opposite from the boat rides, how can I contact them? Will they fix it?

What is the schedule for the events or does this constantly change?

Summer Epps | Oct 4, 2021
Amy G | Oct 5, 2021

Typically the festival itself runs 6 consecutive weekends. The website or Facebook page are the best places to find out information about an upcoming season. The shows and acts are on a schedule that does not typically shift week to week during a season. People in the Shire can mark the day by the jousts and parade. Often (but I cannot guarantee because they have run out) people entering the gates are offered a printed booklet that has a guide, including a map, show times and what stage they're on, and a list of shops and food.

P1. Well I WAS looking forward on going to the festival this weekend.. but I will not being going this year to to the ridiculously high price of the ticket just to get in. 23$ is way to much money just to get in the gate. It doesn't include anything

wyatt hull | Dec 4, 2019
Julie Yelsky | Dec 5, 2019

That is actually on the lower end of gate prices for Renn Faired. It pays for all the shows on all the stages, including the jousting. The performers may ask for tips, but you do not pay for each show you go to. Think of it like the gate price gets you over 10 comedy and musical acts for free.

Is there anything you shouldn’t dress up as?

Victoria Gallagher | Dec 4, 2019
James Hallas | Dec 5, 2019

Acceptable: Anything from Medieval Fantasy (Wizard robes and wands are typical) to light Steampunk (top hat with gears on it, Victorian corset with metal filigree details, etc.) are all considered in good taste. Pirates are also common. Only thing I would recommend not wearing are costumes that are either based on technology (head to toe Steampunk robot, futuristic time Traveller "lost" in the past, etc.) Or are excessively disturbing (Zombies and Ghouls don't fit the theme at all, and would be a weird disconnect for a lot of faire goers, even if made "Period correct" through costuming). Otherwise, it's a fairly loose dress code, with no limits to how regal or armored you want to be! Just remember: Any actual weapon will be ziptied into it's sheath at the door, or they will straight up ask you to leave it in your car if it's too large to secure safely.

Pirate Invasion Weekend (Sept 16 & 17) gives all Military Personnel (with ID) BOGOF adult tickets and their children under 12 get in free. Go to the festival box office to redeem.

How much are tickets at the gate?

Tom Yesovich | Dec 4, 2018
Anita Cannella | Dec 5, 2018

I've been there twice so far, this year, and the tickets are $22.00. Shop 'n Save has $3.00 off coupons at the front desk. On the back, you can fill out the information, and there is a box near the ticket stands where you can drop it in for a chance to win free gas. ( If you love pizza, it's really good and costs only $3.00 a slice. But drinks are a bit more. A 12 oz. Mike's Lemonade is $4.50, and a cup of beer is $4.25. ) Two people get in for the price of one on opening weekend only. Those coupons are only at Wendy's.
