Come Early, Stay Late
The realm rewards those who linger. With eleven stages, three jousts, an elite artisan marketplace with more than 100 artisans, and food and drink at every turn, a single day fills quickly. Arrive when the gates open at 10:30 and you will have time to wander, watch, feast, and still catch the marquee joust at five.
The Full Season
King Richard's Faire is open every Saturday and Sunday from September 5 through October 25, 2026. We also open on the Monday holidays of September 7 (Labor Day) and October 12 (Indigenous Peoples' Day / Columbus Day), so families with a long weekend can join the merriment.
When To Arrive
Gates open at 10:30 in the morning. Arrive early for the best parking. The last guests are admitted before the gates close at 6:00 pm.
A Word on Weather
The Faire is a rain-or-shine event, much like any outdoor sporting or entertainment venue. Unless conditions become dangerous for guests and performers, we open for the day and remain open. When the weather is in question, call before you leave at (508) 866-5391, or check our Facebook and Instagram pages for the latest word.
