Coming out this weekend? Think of all the yarn you could have!

The #1 fan-favorite Renaissance Faire in the U.S. since 2012. Where Fantasy Rules! Weekends - July through Labor Day.

We are closed again friends 💔. The Bristol Renaissance Faire will be closed tomorrow which takes out an entire weekend of our 9 week run. Please come back and support us and our vendor friends next week during market place weekend. Missing a whole weekend can be devastating to small artisan businesses and performers so this is a rough week for your friends at the faire!

The Bristol Renaissance Faire will be closed on Sunday, July 19, 2026, due to the smoke from the Canadian wildfires. The Wisconsin DNR has issued an Air Quality Advisory, in effect through Noon CDT Monday, July 20, 2026, and we are following their advisement.

We share your disappointment—especially with our Cottagecore Weekend festivities interrupted. So we’re bringing Cottagecore back for an encore! Join us Labor Day weekend, when you’ll have three enchanting days instead of two to celebrate all things cozy, whimsical and wonderfully Cottagecore.
