Experience the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire

Hear ye, hear ye! Each year, the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire transforms the grounds of Mount Hope Estate & Winery in Manheim, Pennsylvania, into a bustling 16th-century English village filled with entertainment, adventure, food, and plenty of merriment.

Spanning 35 acres, the Faire invites visitors to immerse themselves in a world of queens, knights, villagers, musicians, performers, and other colorful characters. Catch exciting live shows across more than a dozen stages, witness swashbuckling swordplay, cheer on knights during the Ultimate Joust, and encounter performers and characters throughout the village.

There's something new to discover around every corner, making the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire a popular fall tradition for families, couples, groups of friends, and Renaissance enthusiasts alike.

Food, Shopping & Themed Weekends

Come hungry! Food and beverages are a major part of the Faire experience, with plenty of hearty fare, sweet treats, and drinks available throughout the grounds. Visitors can also browse a large collection of merchants offering handcrafted goods, costumes, jewelry, artwork, and other unique finds.

Each weekend of the Faire season features a different theme, giving visitors even more reasons to return. Past and current themes range from fantasy and Vikings to time travelers, Oktoberfest, and Halloween celebrations.

And don't worry—you don't have to arrive in costume to join the fun, although dressing for the occasion can make the experience even more memorable.
