Hear Ye! Here Ye! More Activites for all than ever before at 16th Village Renaissance Faire--New Children’s activities to entertain the young at heart between taking in aerialists, firebreathers, jousting, artisans more....

Hear Ye! Here Ye! The Village Renaissance faire returns its merriment and mystique to the Middletown Grange Fairgrounds this Sept 19 & 20, for its glorious 16th year, with even more performers and offerings than ever before. When asked why, founder and volunteer faire director Ken Hone simply says, Why Not!?!

This years faire will again feature its olde favorites such as jousting knights, flying birds of prey, firebreathers, aerialists, and Living Literature while hosting historical shire events and demonstrations. More than 30 acts will grace the fairegrounds and provide continuous entertainment and exhibits fill the 8 stages, and faireways, that have become so profitable and reknowned that this year, rumors have it that the Saxons may be invading the grounds to pursue the riches. We are sure that the power of the cause led by prices of a mere $5 and all riches earmarked for charity, that the village glen will not only rejoice an intriguing new guests but band together for an even more profitable and glorious year in which overcome the initial plans of their new “guests.” But how, you must come and see.

Interactive activities for visitors will fill the day as each performers is accustomed to visiting and guiding patrons in their craft. Patrons will spin, weave, juggle, dance, and learn to play music in addition to the many lessons at the renaissance School of Fine Arts, Living History pavilion, and Kids Kingdom interactive playland. It is here where wee not only see have to play chess with actors as well as chess pieces that stand 3 feet tall, but also if they so dare, participate in the kinds Quest, they too can become part of the show at the closing ceremonies…yes they can be part of the joust show.

Games olde and new fill the grounds, ratapult, throwing fits, castleplunk, chickenshot into a pot, Jacobs ladder, thrown weapons, and more. But the animals lovers are not left out, with pony rides, carriages and a royal petting zoo stretched across the faire.

This year there will be a wealth of new running games run by the Village Library of Wrightstown’s children’s programming staff, Lady Penny and Lady Pacita and as well as dozens of teen volunteers. There will be dragon sized games of various sorts, from dominos and jenga to draughts and snakes and ladders. There will also be running games, pyrate obstacle course, and disappearing pyrate island of gold. In the end, it does not matter who wins, as the true is sportsmanship, respect, and fun that is had by all. At various tymes one will be able to try their hand at: pavise water battles, pyrate ship planking, horse races, pickle pong, crokick, crushing grapes, guiloteen highland games, as well as dragon sized games like draughts (aka checkers), chess, jenga, dominos, snakes & ladders, twister, pyrate magical islands and more.
