The Fourth Annual Fishers Renaissance Faire proudly presents, "The Year of Romance".

  In the year 1579, our cleverly themed fair comes complete with daily mass vow renewals, period weddings, Her Majesty's infamous and amusing Court of Love, character romances, scandals and a shocking surprise suitor for the Queen!  And there is a fairy catcher in town, stealing the Fantasticals for his menagerie!  Will the Fairie Queen's advisor, Lord Rowan,  be able to save his beloved Autumn fairy, Chrysanthemum,  in time?  What is the mystery behind the fairy catcher?  Find out this and more by joining in the fun and becoming immersed in the live tales of Billericay, England.  Huzzah!

 We proudly introduce our brand new  jousting troupe, The Knights of Valour,  who will be entertaining the masses with thrilling jousting feats of  bravery.  There will be plenty of hearty faire food, beer and mead by Leinenkugel,  unique artisan shopping, and over 100 lusty, period entertainment shows daily.   Be sure to catch the  parades,  Sunday church Reformation service, Fisher's very own Hey Nonny, Nonny Players Pirate shows, archery contests, Kiwanis sponsored childrens games, pony rides, falconry,  Peasant Olympics, dragon wing eating contest, sword fighting,  Scottish Highland Games, period madrigal choirs, musicians and dancing, puppet shows, a daily costume contest by the Fantasticals, knightings by the Queen, and over 200 costumed street characters to interact with you. 

  All to take place on a single weekend of merriment and mayhem, Oct. 4th and 5th, 10am-6pm daily on the grounds of Connor Prairie. Gate ticket admission is $8 for adults, $5 for children 6-12.  Pre-sale tickets for $2 off gate admission prices may be purchased at participating Key bank locations.  No pets allowed. Free onsite parking.
