Santa Fe Renaissance Faire

Welcome to the Santa Fe Renaissance Faire!

THIS EVENT IS SOLD OUT.

Hear ye, hear ye! Welcome, lords and ladies, to the 17th 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 Order of Epona (jousting knights), 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. 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!
