The Delaware Renaissance Faire (Delafaire) celebrates its fifth season of adventure this fall, and this year, Opening Day falls squarely on Halloween.
The Faire returns to Firebase Lloyd for three themed weekends of family fun, live entertainment, and immersive experiences: Oct. 31–Nov. 1, Nov. 7–8, and Nov. 14–15, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, rain or shine, at 375 Saw Mill Branch Road, Townsend, Del.
Themed Weekends
This year's Delafaire will feature three themed weekends, each with exclusive entertainment and daily costume contests:
Halloweekend (Oct. 31–Nov. 1) – Celebrate Halloween at the Faire with trick-or-treating. Plus, the high-energy acrobatic sister duo Topsy Turvy returns this weekend only.
Celtic Weekend (Nov. 7–8) – Raise a cheer for the Emerald Isle with Triantán, a Philly-based trio that breathes new life into traditional Irish fiddle tunes and maritime songs with rich strings and vocal harmonies.
Fantasy Weekend (Nov. 14–15) – Close out the season in a realm of myth and imagination, featuring exclusive performances by The Harlot Queens, a touring comedic musical troupe known for original songs, parodies, and fan favorites.
Feast, Shop, and Be Merry
Delafaire's marketplace will feature more than 120 artisan craft vendors, making the Faire the perfect place to get a jumpstart on holiday shopping.
There will be food for all, from classics like turkey legs and Scotch eggs to gluten-free and vegan options. Pub proceeds will benefit the Delaware Museum of Nature & Science, a 501(c)(3) organization.
Advance ticket purchasing is encouraged to guarantee admission. Tickets will be sold at the front gate pending availability.
