King Richard's Faire: Insider Info

If you haven't yet been to King Richard's Faire, what are you waiting for? Only two weekends remain: this one and the next as the Faire will come to a close after October 21st.

Hailed as New England's largest and longest running Renaissance Faire, King Richard's offers entertainment for all ages: rides, games, unique artistry, food and drink, and endless characters.

Upon entering the enchanted forests you will enter a whole new world. The faire welcomes those who enter to dress up and if you don't have a particular outfit to suit the Renaissance era, never fear for the faire boasts a costume shoppe with an extensive collection of pieces from the period. Once you have your wardrobe, you will be set to explore the forest more in-depth. Within its wooded surroundings, all things of beauty abound for there is a show at the faire for all. Acrobats, magicians, singers, dancers, stilt walkers, and even knights joust on horseback. The faire will take you back in time!

The faire offers special events/themed weekends on particular dates so be sure to check out the official website, listed below. On the weekend of The Red Balloon's visit, there was the HIGHly anticipated Highland Hunks/Men in Kilts Competition. For those who have never before attended a Men in Kilts Competition, it is recommended that you place the date on your calendar for 2019. This year's competition brought so many onlookers that it was standing room only by the time the contest began! Keep in mind that none of those in the competition yet knew what was in store for them, nor did they know what the prize would be, but all gave their renaissance best in order to be crowned this year's Highland Hunk!
