Santa Fe Renaissance Faire
Welcome to the 16th Annual
Santa Fe Renaissance Faire!
Hear ye, hear ye! Welcome, lords and ladies, to the 16th Annual Santa Fe Renaissance Faire!
Prepare to be transported to a realm of enchantment and adventure as we journey to the Kingdom of Golondrinas. Explore the whimsical Fairy Village, witness the chivalrous feats of the Knights of Epona, and be amazed by the juggling clown magic of Clan Tynker.
Step into the presence of royalty as you meet the esteemed Royal Court of the Kingdom of Golondrinas, and witness the thrilling spectacle of real combat at the Armored Combat tournament.
Immerse yourself in the sights and sounds of the Middle Ages with live medieval music, spirited dancing, and a costume contest fit for kings and queens. Marvel at the craftsmanship of medieval arts & crafts and sample the finest libations from New Mexico Hard Cider, Beer Creek Brewing, and Sheehan Winery.
Join us for a day of merriment and magic at New Mexico’s premier Renaissance Faire, where adventure awaits around every corner!
