The story

Vermont Renaissance Faire in Stowe

The Vermont Renaissance Faire brings a weekend of medieval-inspired entertainment to Mayo Events Field in Stowe each summer, featuring jousting, costumed performers, artisan vendors and craft beverage makers. The family-friendly faire combines historical demonstrations with fantasy elements including fairies, Vikings and pirates alongside live music and dance.

On a summer weekend each year, Mayo Events Field on the outskirts of Stowe, Vermont, transforms into a medieval-inspired world of knights, jousters, fairies and craft vendors for the Vermont Renaissance Faire.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

The place changes

The faire blends genuine medieval-craft demonstrations, blacksmithing, historical combat and period artisan techniques, with openly fantastical characters like fairies and unicorns, a combination that leans into pure entertainment rather than strict historical reenactment

The mystery stays covered

Its setting at Mayo Events Field puts the faire in Stowe, one of Vermont's most visited resort towns, giving it access to a built-in tourism base already drawn to the area for its mountain scenery and outdoor recreation

The city starts moving

The jousting tournament serves as the faire's centerpiece spectacle, a full-contact demonstration sport rarely staged live in New England outside a handful of dedicated renaissance events

The water draws everyone in

A curated selection of Vermont-made beer, wine, mead and cider vendors ties the faire back to the state's broader craft beverage identity even within a fantasy medieval setting
