New York Renaissance Faire 2025

The iconic, award-winning New York Renaissance Faire will open on Saturday, August 16 for eight weekends, including Labor Day, closing on October 5. The Faire offers an exciting, eclectic mix of fun and frivolity and magical immersive entertainment nestled in the Hudson Valley's Sterling Forest.

Hundreds of costumed performers await you as you enter the gates into the Faire’s magical village replete with pubs, shops, demonstrations, games, and fantastic food for vegans, vegetarians, and foodies alike. Play along and join us as your alter ego be it King, Queen, pirate, sorcerer, or anything you want to be for the day. Or don’t come in costume at all. For many, people-watching is a favorite pastime at the Faire. It’s your day. Enjoy it your way. 

The Pub Crawl, themed weekends, and VIP Joust seating are some of the other options we offer to enhance your experience at the Faire.
