Theme Weekends add an extra layer of fun for our guests. Every weekend celebrates the joy and spirit of the Renaissance, and on the following weekends, we infuse an exciting twist.
Schedule of Events
Cottagecore Weekend
Don your best woodland attire and frolic at the Faire this weekend! We'll provide a map for a self-guided 'Cozy Crawl' showing the locations of Village Artisans creating beautiful hand-made items that you can take home to your own cozy cottage.
All Day – Cozy Crawl: Pick up the 'Cozy Crawl' map at the Guest Services Gazebo detailing all the stops you'll want to make on your memorable journey throughout the village.
Cottagecore Maypole Dance: Welcome the summer in style! Dance experience is not required. Laughter and good vibes are guaranteed. Join us at the Maypole Commons.
