Mesa County Fantasy Faire

The Mesa County Fantasy Faire is a three-day outdoor fantasy and renaissance-style festival held on rustic, natural terrain at the Sweet River Outdoor Event Venue in the Orchard Mesa area of Grand Junction. Founded in 2015 by Bill Monroe, a Society for Creative Anachronism member and musician, it blended historical reenactment with the wider appeal of a comic convention before going dormant and later being revived. Admission covers the faire grounds, multiple stages, guild performances, an artisan marketplace, workshops and family activities, with tournaments, live music, food vendors and camping upgrades also offered.
