Theme Weekends in 2024 add an extra layer of fun for our guests. Every weekend celebrates the joy and spirit of the Renaissance and, on the following weekends, we infuse an exciting twist. We are excited to present some fun and interactive theme weekends with you this season! During our visit on 21 April, we enjoyed the activities associated with "COTTAGECORE WEEKEND" where the Faire invites you to don your best woodland attire and frolic at the Faire where we will feature the village artisans who create the enchanting aesthetic known as Cottagecore. A map was provided at the Information Booth for a self-guided ‘Cozy Crawl’ showing the locations of our creators demonstrating their skills and some of the Faire’s talented guild members who will teach how to create beautiful hand-made items for your own cozy cottage. Huzzah!

First launched in 1963 in Agoura, CA near Malibu, to create “living history” for school children and their families, the Original Renaissance Pleasure Faire has grown into an annual interactive playground and gallery for over 200,000 participants and guests. It has given birth to an industry nationwide and this year is more fun and exciting than ever. This Southern California Faire has traveled a bit since Agoura. The Glen Helen Pavilion provided two different settings in Devore (in San Bernadino County) where the Faire spent many years. Shortly after the turn of the Century, the Faire moved back to Los Angeles County, to its current home at the Santa Fe Dam Recreation Area, a United States Army Corps of Engineers’ Facility and a unit of County of Los Angeles Department of Parks and Recreation System in Irwindale, CA. Since its inception, more than 5 million people from around the world have visited Southern California’s Renaissance Pleasure Faire, averaging approximately 20,000 each weekend and has been voted one of the 10 State Festivals Worth Traveling For by The Discoverer! Huzzah!
The Renaissance - to be “reborn” - A time when individuals celebrated the awakening of a new idea when the light was let into darkness. The Renaissance Pleasure Faire celebrates the spirit of this period of history. We offer the public an opportunity to experience a true Renaissance of our Renaissance, one that was introduced 60 years ago. The Faire is one of the most diverse places on Earth and an escape from the stresses and demands of the modern-day. We offer cutting-edge performances, artisans, and culinary delights. The Renaissance Pleasure Faire features over 125 talented artisans, merchants, and vendors who display and sell their unique handcrafted wares. The village marketplace is sure to appeal to everyone.
