2018 Northern California Renaissance Faire

SEE EVENT DETAILS
Find your Fantasy at the Northern California Renaissance Faire!
This fall, immerse yourself in an authentic Renaissance village, with live music, themed celebrations, hearty food, and a thriving marketplace of unique, hand-crafted goods. For the first time, due to the growing demand to partake in this one-of-a-kind experience, the Renaissance Faire is now running for SIX weekends, starting September 15 through October 21. You can find this enchanted wonderland at Casa de Fruta in Hollister, where her Majesty's subjects have created Willingtown, a village under the rule of Queen Elizabeth I. For a brief magical time, the Queen will allow you to become one of her loyal subjects!
While you’re welcome to arrive at the Faire in those strange 21st century clothes, it’s far more fun to don a costume (you can rent or buy at the Faire) and immerse yourself into this revolutionary time. Create your character—it’s entirely up to you! You can be anything, be it a peasant, knight, princess, pirate, or even superhero. The Faire is your playground where you can become whatever suits your fancy.
Each day at the Faire, courageous knights engage in battles of skill to entertain the Queen and her subjects, so be sure to cheer on the knight of your choice during the legendary full-contact joust in the World Tournament of Champions Arena. Once you’ve had your fill of witnessing heroic feats, head over to the other stages to watch improv troupes, comedy acts, Shakespearean dramas, dancing, fire-eating and more. Then, meander through the marketplace and shop from a variety of master artisans offering old world designs, hand-crafted works of art, blown glass, knives and swords, leather, wood, jewelry and much more.
Spending the day enjoying hilarious performances and shopping the marketplace can work up quite an appetite, so it’s a good thing that the Faire offers delicious food, like its famous juicy turkey legs, meat pies, grilled artichokes, fruit ices, and incredible selection of ciders, ales, and beers.
Each weekend, the Renaissance Faire offers special themes and discounts, like the crowd-favorite Pirate Invasion and the military discount weekend. In addition to these themed celebrations, every weekend features delightful performances, including comedy shows, fortune tellers, sword fights and more. What are you waiting for? Kids 12 and under are always free, so gather your family or trusty crew of friends and we’ll see you in Willingtown this year!
