Richmond Ren Faire

The Richmond Ren Faire is a grassroots, community-based event held across 13 activated acres of Dorey Park in Henrico, running 10am to 6pm. Drawing inspiration from the multicultural exchanges of the Silk Road, it highlights underrepresented tradesmen, artisans and everyday people of the Renaissance alongside Richmond's own artists, with more than 100 artisan vendors and food merchants, dozens of historic demonstrations, equestrian and ground combat sports, multiple stages of musicians, performers and storytellers, roaming character actors and immersive environments. Tickets are advance-only with no door sales, and capacity is capped. Designated accessible parking sits near the main gate, though the grounds are mostly grass with uneven and sandy patches.
