KING RICHARD’S FAIRE
THE
New England Renaissance Festival
Returns for its 44th Season Now at its New Home:
Edaville Entertainment Venue in Carver, MA
Huzzah and rejoice! The 44th annual KING RICHARD’S FAIRE, New England’s largest and longest-running Renaissance festival will open its gates at an all-new site on Saturday, August 30, 2025, in Carver, MA on the grounds of the historic Edaville Family Theme Park, newly reimagined as Edaville Entertainment Venue. This exciting new location offers all the splendor and spectacle the Faire is known for, now with enhanced accessibility, scenic cranberry bogs, and a stunning mirrored pond—making it the perfect setting for this immersive, magical celebration of fantasy and fun.
From August 30 through October 19, guests can revel in a fantastical escape featuring eight vibrant stages of live entertainment, thrilling jousts, delicious foods to feast upon like royalty, and a curated elite artisan marketplace. Visitors can mingle with knights and fairies, laugh with jesters, and cheer on their favorite champions in the tournament field—all while enjoying the same beloved traditions that have made the Faire a staple of New England’s fall season for more than four decades.
