Delicious Food

Passing through the gates will bring you into the Shire of Crossford, a village in Northumberland that is ruled by the beloved Duke and Duchess and their family. You will meet knights, woodsmen, noble lords and ladies, cobblers, and craftsmen alike. It is a festival day for them, and they invite you to join them in their revelry. Partake in the shows! Feast on delicacies from the days of olde! Learn how to sword fight! Hunt for treasure! There is an adventure for every member of your family just waiting to be discovered!

Knight School
Bring your children to the Squire Show, where they can learn swordplay from knights!

These are but a few delights of our local New Jersey Renaissance Faire, a fully immersive and interactive adventure unlike other such faires where you are just a mere spectator. This Faire is a unique and magical phenomenon that needs to be experienced to be understood. Here, you can be anyone! Here, you are just as much a part of the festival going-ons as the villagers and nobles!

Step into the storyline and witness travelers throughout time and space come to the magical shire of Crossford! Mingle among the characters, or simply watch in awe as villagers and pedestrians alike proudly display their period attire like peacocks on a prance! Explore the Faire’s artisan merchant village, where you shall find over 50 merchants, shopkeepers, and artisans waiting to dazzle you with their wares!

The Shire of Crossford is a true delight for your children as well! With wide open spaces, and specialty kids shows, there is plenty for them to do and see!

The mere cost of admission includes many experiences and wonders to behold, including:

  • Dozens of shows, including ones specifically curated for children
  • Various historical craft demonstrations, including glassblowing, jewelry making, and blacksmithing
  • Live jousting matches and a knightly tournament of arms
  • Magic shows and fire dancers
  • Aerial silks and circus trick performances

When your adventures leave your stomach rumbling and your throat parched, be sure to visit any of our food vendors! They will provide plenty of faire delicacies such as Dragon Legs, gourmet sandwiches, Fairy Floss, and of course, GIANT PICKLES on a stick!

Treat your family to a day at the NJ Renaissance Faire - a day they will not soon forget!
