Welcome to the Santa Fe Renaissance Faire!
TICKETS RELEASED FOR BOTH DAYS; LIMITED AVAILABILITY.
Welcome, kings and queens, lords and ladies, peasants and poets, to the Santa Fe Renaissance Faire!
Enter our gates to be transported to a realm of enchantment and adventure as you trek across the Kingdom of Golondrinas. Explore the whimsical Fairy Village, witness the chivalrous jousting feats of the Knights of Epona, and be amazed by the juggling clown magic of Clan Tynker. Kneel to passing knights and outwit the guardian trolls.
Step into the presence of royalty as you meet the esteemed Royal Court of the Kingdom, and watch the thrilling spectacle of real combat at the Armored Combat tournament, or partake in Belegarth’s medieval combat yourself.
Immerse yourself in the sights and sounds of the Middle Ages—whether fantasy or reality—with live old world music and spirited dancing. Sample the finest ales and brews from Sheehan Winery, Beer Creek Brewing Co., New Mexico Hard Cider and Mystic Ambrosia Medary.
Join us for a day of merriment and magic at New Mexico’s premier and longest-running Renaissance Faire, where magic awaits on every trail. Snag your tickets ASAP: this event sells out every year.
