What is a Renaissance Faire?

If you’ve never experienced a Renaissance Faire, prepare to step into another time! A Renaissance Faire is an immersive festival filled with stage and street performers, costumed characters, music, merrymaking, living history, shopping, food, and plenty of unexpected adventures along the way.

Throughout the Village and upon our stages, you’ll discover three days of entertainment featuring musicians, dancers, performers, roving characters, demonstrations, and more.

Our Renaissance Guilds help bring the shire to life through historical demonstrations, encampments, and interactive experiences. Wander through our bustling marketplace filled with unique artisans and merchants, watch craftsmen at work, enjoy delicious food and drink, and become part of the story yourself.

Whether you arrive in costume or simply come ready for adventure, there is something for everyone at the Two Rivers Renaissance Faire!

Schedules are subject to change, so we recommend checking the most current schedule when you arrive at the Faire.

CAN I LEAVE AND COME BACK ANOTHER DAY?
