The Connecticut Renaissance Festival Will Be Back For Its 25th Year Of Fun & Festivities

The Connecticut Renaissance Faire in Lebanon brings jousting, delicious food, birds of prey, exciting events, and fun. Huzzah! Lords and Ladies, pray attend! The magic and enchantment of this 16th-century harvest festival returns in 2024 for its 25th year of mesmerizing guests. Here are a few things you can look forward to at this extraordinary Renaissance Faire near me!

Come One - Come All: Put on your best hat and attend the festivities on Saturdays and Sundays, Aug. 31 – Oct. 14, 2024!

Enter a magical time with adventures beyond belief at the Renaissance Festival in CT. Enjoy the sights and sounds of a 16th-century harvest festival which opens with a grand celebration of Royal visitors to the shire.

Listen to mystical music on unique instruments or pick up your feet and dance as you hear the saucy songs and tales of local bards.

You'll be amazed and awed as you watch shows on 12 stages featuring some of the most talented jugglers, magicians, acrobats, and fire dancers in New England.

We like the fact that all performances are included with an admission ticket.

See knights and horses show off their skills and pageantry in the arena during spur-of-the-moment jousting events.

You will also see fighters go armored toe to armored toe as they hit each other with no holds barred during the armored combat demos.

Don't forget about the Birds of Prey Show.

You'll love seeing the beauty and majesty of these amazing birds as they hunt for lures and entertain the audience with their skills.

One of the best parts of the Renaissance Faire in Connecticut is the food: Indulge yourself in feasting that is fit for royalty.

From savory pies to sweet treats, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Grab a giant turkey leg, pierogi, sausage, or

some pulled pork and fries. We love the Turkish coffee and baklava. Indulge in a craft beer or local cider.

You'll even find a familiar face or two among the crowd.

Costumes are encouraged! You are invited to become one of the actors who portray a

variety of knights, ladies, townsfolk, and travelers who welcome the English

Court.
