The New Jersey Renaissance Faire was conceived in 2009 by T.J. Miller, John Williams and Phil Leipf. Their mutual love of Renaissance faires as a way to touch and engage an audience brought them as if by the magic of Crossford woods to Liberty Lake and to Andy Pritikin. The magic swept him in as well for he had only seen his first Renaissance faire that very year!
Two years later, in 2011, master glass blower Jason Klein joined the family with a unique vision and experience from the merchant side of things. Since then, we have seen our small team grow to include an Education Department, Marketing Department, and even now a Stage Management Team!
Crossford is a village like any other in the English countryside in the 1500’s. Situated in the Duchy of Northumberland, Crossford is a shire that is a jewel in the cap of the noble Duke of Northumberland. Her fields are rich and her citizens filled with merriment and love of crown and country.
The story is mostly true. Most of the year, Crossford is truly like any good English town, but at those magical times of the year, the solstices and the equinox, the magic of the ancient woods that loom over Crossford come to life. Those fey woodlands are a link, a portal to different times and Crossford sits on ley lines that make her a destination for visitors out of time who come to Crossford to solve some dilemma in their lives.
Each year at the festival, the people of Crossord wait and see what figure out of myth and history arrives and help them find the way back on their paths.
