Welcome to ‘A Magical Midsummer Celebration,’ the captivating opening of our 14th season at the Washington Midsummer Renaissance Faire, held annually in the enchanting Village of Merriwick. This year, we’re not only embracing the splendor of the Elizabethan era but also celebrating our profound love for the rich tapestry of Renaissance Faire culture.

Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth I, will grace our festivities with her royal presence, lending an air of majesty to a weekend brimming with the essence of the Renaissance. Witness the grandeur of jousting knights, the whimsy of jesters, and the melody of minstrels as they fill the air with joy and excitement.

Our Faire is a heartfelt tribute to the enduring traditions and vibrant spirit of Renaissance Faires. Engage with skilled artisans, partake in historical games, and savor the authentic flavors that transport you back in time. It’s a place to don your most splendid attire and join a community that celebrates the magic, creativity, and camaraderie of the Renaissance.

Join us in Merriwick for ‘A Magical Midsummer Celebration,’ where each moment is not just a celebration of our 14th season, but also a testament to our shared passion for the wonders and delights of the Renaissance era. Together, let’s embark on a journey through time, creating memories that will last a lifetime.
