Medieval Fair and Festival Information around the World

This is the latest update on Medieval Fairs and Festivals around the world. It is a good idea to click on the link provided for each faire to check their dates, times and latest info.

By the way, the names "fair" and "festival" mean the same thing, it's just a matter of style. And when an entry says "a major event" that means more than 100,000 people go to it each time it is held. The underlined name of each faire is a link to their website for any additional details you may need.

Society for Creative Anachronism

This society is active all year around with costumed Medieval events that include feasts, revelry and tournements. These "kingdoms" cover the whole world, so wherever you live there are events near you. And you don't need to be a member to go to events.

See more about the society here.


I am the editor, chief cook and bottlewasher of this fine and thriving establishment on the web. Known as Sir Knight Sanford, I have been going to the Renaissance Faire for upwards of twenty years. Your thoughts and inputs are always welcome. Enjoy!
