Ahoy, Mateys! The New Jersey Renaissance Faire celebrates its 16th magical season with an immersive family-friendly experience that offers something for everyone! Whether you’re cheering on jousting knights, or marveling at a sword fighting human chess match, with fire breathing, and aerialists- it’s a full day festival of unforgettable entertainment. Enjoy comedy, live music, and explore a marketplace full of artisan crafters.

This season’s storyline immerses you in the Golden Age of Piracy, when King George I offered clemency to pirates who chose to surrender. The Republic of Pirates faces a dangerous crossroads: Surrender to the crown for survival, or defy it and risk the gallows? At the center of the drama are notorious pirates Anne Bonny, Mary Read, Calico Jack, and Charles Vane, whose fate hangs in the balance.

Don’t miss nationally acclaimed social media sensation Jacques Ze Whipper, alongside faire favorites like Chaste Treasure, Righteous Blackguards, and Rowdy Bardlings. Feast on delicious faire fare, including the legendary Turkey Legs, local craft beers, Valenzano wines, and exclusive whiskey tastings. Shop the Merchant Village for fine leather goods, jewelry, costumes, and handcrafted treasures.
