Knights in Shining Armor+ Damsels in Distress = Fun-Filled Weekend

All the Faire is a stage with jousting knights, armored combat, belly dancers, fire eaters, acrobats, musicians, and many other shows as the CT Renaissance Faire returns to the Guilford Fairgrounds-Saturdays and Sundays through June 8. Forget thy cares and share a day of laughter & merriment with us. Enjoy continuous entertainment throughout the day both on-and-off stages all included with your admission. Cheer for your favorite knights as they joust and battle on the field of honor; cringe as fire eaters and sword swallowers ply their ancient art; laugh at the antics of silly jesters; be amazed with our magicians; and prepare thyself to share a day of interactive fun that will brighten your spirits and make thy day.

Some stories begin with “Once upon a time” and some others begin with “A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away…” However your favorite story goes, feel free to dress the part and come visit us for the day. This weekend will be a favorite for kids, as they have a chance to interact with 

characters Snow White, Sleepy Beauty, Rose Red and Cinderella as they explore the festival.
