King Richard’s Faire 2026

King Richard’s Faire, THE New England Renaissance Festival is long considered THE premier Fall entertainment event of the region! Weekends September 5 - October 25, 2026 including Monday holidays September 7th and October 12th See the schedule <a href="https://www.kingrichardsfaire.net/schedule-and-performers">here</a>. Entertainment, exciting rides and challenging games abound on the Faire’s enchanting 80-acre wooded site. There is no doubt you’ll be enthralled by our minstrels, acrobats, fire eaters, aerialists, and larger than life-size puppets. Get ready to be dazzled by two all-new Dog Shows! Where you’re sure to witness some truly captivating canines! Hundreds of talented performers entertain our patrons continuously throughout the day when visiting any one of our eight vibrant stages. The King’s handsome knights battle on horseback as bawdy beggars compete in mud. Happy villagers engage you in the lanes and frolicking faeries can be seen dancing through the forest. Make sure to test your skill in his majesty’s Gaming Glen. Epicurean pleasures suited for royalty will tantalize your taste buds with the Faire’s unbelievable choices of truly scrumptious treats. Satiate your palate with giant spit-roasted turkey legs, ringlets of fryes, and boules of chowder or stew. Don’t forget to quench thy thirst with champagne, mead, wine and brew! Many of their Majesties’ talented artisans, journey from around the globe and have much to offer all who enter our realm. You’ll discover beautiful handspun pottery, fabulous jewelry along with incredible face and body painting. Delight in period clothing, leather, armor, and footwear. See amazing sword making, glass blowing and artisans creating adornments for thy head. Revel in scented oils, perfumes and fantastic psychic readings. All while making memories to last a lifetime! King Richard’s Faire is the largest, the biggest, and the best Renaissance festival in the six states of New England!
