Gather round, ye revelers! It’s time for the annual New York Renaissance Faire. Is there anything more delightful than a Renaissance festival? From the jousts to the turkey legs to the the artisan crafts, this family-friendly event is celebrating its 43rd year in 2021. Last year’s event was canceled due to COVID-19, so hopefully this year will be bigger and better than ever!

The Renaissance Faire is a magical place that will transport you to Elizabethan England (though we'd like to think New York is a bit cleaner).

There are several special event weekends (this year's include Time Travelers' Weekend and Pirate Weekend) and also fun events like Pub Crawls!
With a variety of food and drink options, you shouldn't leave here hungry. Giant turkey legs are the "must-have" faire staple, but you should also get some mead!

The Faire has tons of food and drink to choose from, including vegan and vegetarian offerings. There's something for everyone here!
