Artisans join danger, aerialists, jousters, musicians and dancers

The 19th Village Renaissance Faire features merchants offering not only fine artisanry, but also period wares that even children can enjoy. It’s truly a faire designed for all and that includes the merchant wares TOO!!!
The level and diversity of wares continues to grow and impress all. As they walk about the fairegrounds unique trinkets, wares, and goods are laid out on cloth table cloths, wooden tables, and under canvas pavilions. The attention to display is only rivalled by the wares themselves and attendees wills truly not be disappointed. One of the greatest attributes of the faire and how it is designed for all, and the merchanting aspect is no different. A wealth of merchants are interspersed and mixed along all the faireways so that as you criss cross the grounds to the 9 stages, 10 activity areas, and 4 animal activities there is always something along the path for each of the attendees in your group. Don't worry, the merchants will be there all day, and many with not only discuss their art, but demonstrate for you as well. You might even get caught in an interactive human knot. If you are confused about a human knot, then come to the Faire on the Middletown Grange Fairgrounds this September 15 & 16.
One way or another, this local event is a treasure in the heart of bucks county, and best of all, it’s a faire for a cause--- as all proceeds benefit the Village Library of Wrightstown. So, take a step back in tyme as the faire transforms of agrarian fairgrounds into a celebration featuring arts, crafts, food, music, dance, and shows led by an incredible cast of characters who allow you to suspend disbelief and become, for albeit one weekend, immersed in the chivalry, glamour, and glory of renaissance and medieval times. And you might even find wares that you will treasure for years to come.
