One of the Best Renaissance Faires, offered at a fraction of prices elsewhere will spend Sunday Building even more for YOU

"There is never enough for our Community"---One of the Best Renaissance Faire around, offered at a fraction of prices elsewhere will spend Sunday Building even more new venues & offerings for Sept 16 & 17.

One of the best weekend renaissance faires in the region, the 18th Annual Village Renaissance Faire,- A Faire for a Cause will not disappoint as more new shows than ever have been added to an already packed schedule. "The Faire lets you live the past today, but it will never rest on its past success," says Faire Director Ken Hone and this year is no different. One might think that new heights in attendance and nationwide recognition by Renaissance magazine might be enough, but the faire always wants to give its attendees more offerings and give their performers and merchants larger crowds. And when the faire succeeds, so does the community as the money is put back into the library's free year-round programming. It is a Faire for a Cause.

Building on its success, as it has done every year since its inception, the faire returns in the heart of Bucks County Pennsylvania with not only returning performers and but also new exciting acts, themes, activities and merchants joining them for what will surely be the best year yet. Knights, Wizardry, Pyrates, Music, Song, Dance, animals, games, artisans, and more, all at a fraction of the price of elsewhere. Sunday is being spet building new fields adn venues inside and out, so stay tuned for what else is new. The Faire never stops thinking, or doing.

Although most would be amazed at the feature offerings of this one weekend faire that boasts, flying birds of prey, jousting, trebuchet launching, and fire acts all which occur twice daily, and supplement its, annual Original storyline Living Literature performed by Period Productions, the most impressive compliment is that all of these performances are offered at a pittance of $5 a student, Adults are only a wee bit more, and under 5 are FREE…….and BEST of ALL proceeds benefit the local library. One would be remiss of course, not to mention to many other fine performances offered through its archery shows, living chess, live steele, public punishment, celtic dance, mystical east, puppet shows, story-telling, and lyric stage, which all not only offer ongoing entertainment through-out the day, but also the faire’s hallmark of entertainment—incredible interactive shows followed by free lessons and interactions with performers one on one.

A moment of Fun and Fantasy will always be but a step away. As the faire has even scheduled its entertainment so that as patrons walk between shows they can gaze at the Aerialists flying every hour. The weekend merriment does not end there as actors interact along all the faireways as visitors explore the fine artisans and guild work offered for sale. Patrons are treated to blacksmiths, spinners, weavers, and woodworkers along artisans rowe as they head toward our Living History pavilion featuring multiple SCA shires.

The amazing thing about the Village Renaissance Faire is that for less than a movie, attendees are treated to a wealth of shows that by any one by itself is worth the price of admission. Danger Acts. Circus Arts. Living History. Animals exhibits & rides. Crafts & artisans. Where else can you see:

• Walking trees & tree wishes

Wee ones, or those young at heart, are never far from entertainment.
