Mark thy calendars, for the Richmond Ren Faire taking place April 18th and 19th at Dorey Park from 10-6pm!

The RVARF, is a one-of-a-kind grassroots celebration created by and for Richmond. Rooted in community, the Faire brings together local performers, merchants, artists, and cultural organizations that reflect the city’s vibrant creative spirit.

Inspired by the multicultural exchanges of the Silk Road, it celebrates the diverse ideas, craftsmanship, and storytelling that made the Renaissance a global moment of connection while shifting the spotlight to the underrepresented tradesmen, artisans, and everyday people whose work truly shaped the era. 

By weaving these narratives together with Richmond’s unique artistic voices, the Faire becomes both a reimagined history and a living celebration of community.

Single day passes are on sale now!
