New to ren faires?

A ren faire is a day out in a version of old Europe: stages, swordfights, a joust, an artisan market, food, and a lot of people in costume. You don't need to dress up or know anything to go.

Canada has around 40 of them now, and most started in the last few years. Our guide covers what you'll find, what to bring and how to behave. The guides below cover costs, kids and costumes.
