​FALL in LOVE with Fire again this September at the Village Renaissance Faire Sept 17 & 18 on the donated Middletown Grange

Popular fire & danger act returns to our area for one weekend only to support our local Renaissance Faire for a Cause - the library

FALL in LOVE with Faire again this September at the Village Renaissance Faire Sept 17 & 18 on the donated Middletown Grange Fairgrounds in Wrightstown

The Village Renaissance Faire attracts and keeps incredible performers because of its reputation worldwide, and the incredible atmosphere set by the faire and the families who attend. "Performers love coming here" says Faire Director Ken Hone, "because they love our charity person, the respect they we show their talents, and the incredible, family crowds we draw year after year."

This years faire set for September 17 & 18 on the donated Middletown Grange Fairgrounds is no different as one of our most photographed performers, by both the patrons and the press, returns to again be part of the faire family and the show brought to Bucks County for the benefit of the Village Library of Wrightstown.

“Adamo Ignis” is Latin for “to fall in love with flame.” Exactly what you’ll be doing when you literally see hot stunts in the show. The passion of dance, the danger of fire, and of course many other stunts and tricks will leave you in love with more than just the flame.

Like the Village Renaissance Faire, Adamo Ignis has but one mission to create memorable experiences, enjoyment, and entertainment. Conceived in just 2009, Adamo Ignis quickly created solo and group acts that amazed and enticed audiences up and down the east coast from the Village Renaissance Faire to the larger commercial ones as well.
