Pub Crawl and Fyne Food

Participants receive a beverage at each new location. Pub Crawl tickets sell out quickly so be sure to reserve yours today! Hungry? You’ll also find something that hits the spot whether you’re vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, or omnivore!
Experience Awe-inspiring Performances
All season long, attendees of this thrilling faire will enjoy a rotating cast of exceptional entertainment. Learn your own exciting illusions at Brandon Scott’s Wonder School of Magic, and listen as the Wizard of Wonder himself delights you with his Storytelling Magic. Hop on the tragicomic, tongue-tying rollercoaster that is Green Eggs and Hamlet, an unusual yet hilarious mix of Shakespeare and Dr. Seuss. And, new to this year, you’ll enjoy a “cup of tea” at the Tea & Strumpets Tea House as you sing and dance along with the rowdiest band stage show of the year. Plus, the faire even offers ASL interpreters for deaf and hard-of-hearing guests, so people from the deaf and hearing communities alike can enjoy everything this fantastic event has to offer!
Human-Powered Rides, Fun, and Games
Spanning across the entirety of the Renaissance Pleasure Faire is every classic booth, shop, and activity you can think of! Test your strength with axe throwing, try to stay afoot in the bubble rollers, take aim with Earth darts, and much more! Then, support your local artisans by perusing their wares including glass, jewelry, fine art, wood, metals, and beyond. You can even barter for some unique crafted items at the Trader’s Market. These are only a small portion of all the interesting activities jam-packed into the faire, so be sure to check out the full official list!
