Family fun since 2004!

Please fill out our 2021 Feedback Form to tell us how we can improve, and review us on Facebook, Google and Yelp.

5/17: Thank you for coming out to support our vendors and entertainers! We appreciate you so much. In spite of the rain on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, we still had a great event. We had more vendors, more food, more tickets sold, more costume contest prizes, more sponsors, more activities, more forest areas, etc. than 2020. Don’t just take our word for it… New vendors, please talk with our 2021 vendors and see what they thought. And we have much more to do for 2022 when we expect to operate May 13-14-15, 2022 with plans to add a second weekend. Stay tuned for more details and announcements for Fall activities, too!

Free parking. 7 and under free. Add-on days $3.

Established in 2004, we are the oldest Renaissance faire in Des Moines, produced by the same folks that brought the first Renaissance festival here in 1993. We only produce family-friendly events. (We are NOT the faire that also produces a 21+ event.) #Safe4Kids

This is the “Des Moines Renaissance Faire” that has been at Water Works Park (2004), Iowa State Fairgrounds (2004-2005), Sleepy Hollow property (2006-2015), and now west of Saylorville Township (2019-current). Our faire family looks forward to seeing you again!
