See why families from around New England call the Connecticut Renaissance Faire ‘the perfect day trip” as you are transported on a mythical journey to the time of King Arthur. Cheer for your favorite knights as they joust on the field of honor.  The 24th annual Connecticut Renaissance Faire is an enchanted recreation of a 16th-century harvest festival as one might have been in the days of yore. Here you can feast like a king on turkey legs and local craft brews, shop like a queen in New England’s largest Medieval Marketplace or laugh like a fool at continuous shows performed on ten stages throughout the village. All the kingdom is a stage with performances on stage and in the street. Costumes are encouraged, but not required. Come as you are or as you wish to be.
