Bucks Renaissance Faire Doubles In Size And Attractions For 2025

DOYLESTOWN, PA — The Bucks County Renaissance Faire returns for its second season this Labor Day Weekend — Saturday, Aug. 30 through Monday, Sept. 1, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily — promising more magic, more mayhem, and twice the village to explore.

Held on the historic grounds of the TileWorks of Bucks County, 130 E. Swamp Road in Doylestown, this year’s expanded fairegrounds will feature brand-new attractions and 115 artisan craft and food vendors — amounting to nearly double last year’s footprint, said organizers

"We have a lot of new entertainment coming this year, including interactive shows and events like Taylor's Renaissance Country Dancing, which teaches patrons fun historical dances and our daily costume contest, where patrons can show off their amazing outfits and win prizes," said Daniel GreenWolf, entertainment director with Found Artifact Entertainment, LLC.

"We also have the Falconry Girl, Margaret Young, doing live demonstrations with her gorgeous birds of prey, the Daily Riders Equestrian Show where audiences can be dazzled by horseback skill demonstrations, and Armored Combat Worldwide, doing live, unscripted, steel combat."

Other additions include Daly Riders, presenting equestrian stunt shows; Armored Combat Worldwide, showcasing live knight battle; an enchanting mermaid grotto; a petting zoo; immersive fair-wide games by Magibleu Enterprises and Adventures from the Wizard’s Tower; and magical
gem mining with New Lunar Light.

Guests are encouraged to dress in costume and take part in the daily costume contest. Participants can compete across three categories: Best Individual Adult, Best Individual Kid, and Best Group Costume. Those in garb will have the chance to win fun prizes — and, of course, bragging rights worthy of a bard’s tale.

Several fan favorites will return to entertain throughout the three-day run, across four stages: juggler and sword-swallower David Darwin; Celtic magicians Daniel and Bella GreenWolf; musical talents Foxy Bard & Twig, Triantán, Pieces of 8, and Thom Fuewellery; as well as sideshow artist Krystal Younglove; belly dancer Linwe; and weaponry experts Phoenix Swords.

Guests who want to be part of the action can try their hand at archery, axe-throwing, and dagger-tossing. They can even challenge their friends or the Faire’s knight in “Fight the Knight!” Head over to Sean the Whipsy Rover for a free lesson in the art of whip cracking. And don’t forget to enlist the services of Swashbuckling Mercenaries for Hire to shame (or praise) thy friends and loved ones.

The Gaming Glen, hosted by Cardboard Chaos Games, will host events throughout the weekend, including a daily Magic The Gathering Jumpstart, a trivia tournament on Saturday afternoon, and a Dungeon Crawl on Sunday.

The Bucks County Renaissance Faire will prove to be a destination for artists, too. The TileWorks Museum will again offer guided tours and tilemaking demonstrations throughout the weekend. Guests can marvel at live demos from a glassblower, fire artist, blacksmith, and more.

Crooked Eye Brewery returns as the Faire’s local pub partner, while a dozen food vendors will serve up hearty meals, including classic turkey legs, and refreshing snacks and beverages throughout the day. Grab a pickle or step into DaVinci’s Snow Cone Contraption to spin up your own frozen treat – a tasty sendoff to summer.

Advance tickets are strongly recommended after last year’s sellout. Admission ranges from $10 to $20, with free entry for children 4 and under. Veterans, active-duty military, and seniors receive special discounts.

Important Parking Note: No on-site parking is available at TileWorks this year. Guests should park at the free garage at Union & N. Broad in Doylestown. Complimentary shuttles will run continuously to and from the Faire grounds.
