This year, the Fairy & Iron Renaissance Faire expands into a three-part saga—an immersive trilogy of magic, mystery, and merriment. Each event stands alone as a full experience with vendors, entertainment, and enchanting vibes—but together, they tell a story that unfolds across the seasons. Whether you attend one or follow the entire journey, you’ll step into a world where fantasy and folklore collide in the most delightful way. Each event is a standalone celebration—but together, they tell one unforgettable story.
Begin your journey at the Evening Affair (July 12–13 at Cox Creek Cellars, Guelph), an intimate twilight faire filled with artisan vendors, a celtic orchestra, wine tastings, and magic. As the sun sets and toasts are raised, a sacred artifact vanishes—setting off a kingdom-wide search for the truth.
The story deepens at the Rustic Renaissance Faire (September 6–7 at Andrews Scenic Acres, Milton), a full-scale daytime festival celebrating freedom and folklore. Expect performers, craft vendors, games, and immersive scenes as whispers of an ancient heir threaten to plunge the land back into chaos.
Finally, don your finest for the Yuletide Ball (December 27 in Mississauga), an indoor medieval banquet and theatrical finale. With live music, dance, and dramatic revelations, the kingdom’s fate will be decided over dinner and firelight—will peace return to Shadowmere, or will darkness rise again?

Costumes are highly encouraged but not required. Whether you arrive in full Renaissance garb, fairy wings, or your most enchanted cloak, you’ll be welcomed into the realm. That said, dressing up adds to the fun—and there may even be prizes for best costume!
At our outdoor faires, well-behaved dogs on leashes are welcome in the capacity outlined by the venue. Please clean up after your pup and make sure they’re comfortable in crowds and around loud sounds. Dogs are not permitted at the indoor Renaissance Ball in January.
Absolutely! All ages are welcome at the Renaissance faires, and we have plenty of family-friendly entertainment, interactive areas, and magical surprises for younger guests.
Please note: The Renaissance Ball in January is intended for a more adult audience and may not be suitable for young children.
The faires will proceed rain or shine—it is the Renaissance, after all! Please dress for the weather and wear appropriate footwear for outdoor terrain. In cases of severe weather (lightning storms or unsafe conditions), we’ll post updates on social media and by email.
We do our best to make each event as accessible as possible. The venues have flat, open areas, but please note that the terrain includes grass, gravel, and farm paths which may be challenging for some mobility devices. If you have specific questions or need accommodations, feel free to contact us in advance—we’re happy to help!
