The Venezia Renaissance Faire

Online tickets are print-at-home, on any ordinary printer. With your ticket in hand you skip the ticket booth and will call and go straight to the Castle Entrance. Keep your ticket confirmation: you'll need it for re-entry on the same day.

The faire runs rain or shine. During electrical storms, heavy rain, high winds or other dangerous weather it may close temporarily. There are no refunds for inclement weather.

Yes. Well-mannered pets on a leash are welcome. Service animals stay on a leash or in a harness and under their owner's control. Please be considerate of other guests and clean up after your pet.

No outside food or drinks, with two exceptions: food needed for medical reasons (including nutritional supplements), and baby food or formula. Alcohol bought at the faire is drunk on the grounds; a valid ID is needed and no one under 21 is served.

Please do dress up, in medieval costume suited to a family audience. A costume sword or dagger is allowed if it is sheathed and peace-tied: show it to security at the entrance. Blades that can't be sheathed (axes, maces, halberds, pikes, spears) and tipped arrows stay home, and real weapons, including guns, are not allowed. Drawing a weapon means removal from the faire.

Very. There's the Children's Realm, Poppy the Fairy, acrobats, knights and medieval games. Child passes are for ages 3 to 13, and guests under 14 must be with someone aged 18 or older. A few stage shows, such as Ménage à Moi, are bawdy comedy meant for grown-ups.

The faire is outdoors and generally wheelchair friendly. Paths are grass, light mulch and dirt, with gentle changes in level. You're welcome to bring your own wheelchair or single-passenger ECV; there are no wheelchairs, strollers or ECVs to rent. Restrooms (the privies) are signposted throughout, and first aid staff are on site during opening hours.

Only in designated areas, and that includes e-cigarettes and anything else that makes smoke or vapor.

During the faire, go to the Admissions Booth at the front entrance, for lost children too. Afterwards, email info@veneziarenaissancefaire.com with a description of the item and the date of your visit.

No. Tickets are non-transferable, non-exchangeable and non-refundable, and must be used by the same person. Bags and items may be checked at the entrance, and the faire may refuse entry or ask a guest to leave without refund when circumstances require it.

Proper attire, including shoes and shirts, is required at all times. Clothing with objectionable language or designs is not permitted. Costumes should suit the medieval theme and a family audience; the faire may refuse entry to, or remove, anyone whose attire it considers inappropriate or a distraction from other guests’ experience.

All persons, bags, parcels, clothing and other items may be screened at the entrance, and the faire may refuse any bag, parcel or item. Please show common courtesy to fellow guests and faire staff: no profanity, and no unsafe, illegal, disruptive or offensive behavior.

No. Handing out printed or recorded material, selling goods or services (including displaying them for sale) and uncontracted performances are not permitted; every performance is scheduled by the faire. Unauthorized events, demonstrations or speeches, and using a flag, banner or sign for commercial purposes or to stir up a crowd, are also prohibited.

Yes, for your own keeping. Photography, video or recording for commercial purposes is prohibited. The faire may photograph, film, record or otherwise reproduce the image or voice of anyone who enters, and use it for any purpose without payment.

Please keep your distance from other guests, and stay home if you have flu-like symptoms such as a cough or fever. An inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists in any public place where people are present, and older guests and those with underlying medical conditions are especially vulnerable. By visiting the faire you voluntarily assume all risks related to exposure to COVID-19.
