About this Event

Welcome, good gentles all, to the Niagara Renaissance Faire!

Pray, gather with us and partake in the revels of the Renaissance, where valiant Knights and their noble Coursers clash in feats of sword and skill, where thou may’st test thy mettle in β€œFight the Knight,” and behold stirring contests upon horseback! Try thy hand at Archery and the throwing of the axe; marvel at the Birds of Prey in flight; witness the forge aflame in the Blacksmith’s art; and wander the living Medieval Encampment!

Delight in merriments aplenty, with performances by Zoltan the Adequate, the wondrous Aerialist Kai in Wonderland, MacLeod the Bard, the sweet strains of Harpist Carol Farrar, and lively music from bands such as Thunder Glove and Whiskey Business! Peruse the wares of merchants, crafters, readers, and skilled artisans! Feast upon roast pig, mighty turkey legs, and a bounty of victuals fit for lord and commoner alike!

Come forth to eat, to drink, and to be merry!

A faire welcoming all ages and families fair and true, with a Pub Night reserved for those of nineteen years and more.

Rain or Shine!
