Overview
Get ready to be transported to a world of magic, mystery and fun with the annual New Jersey Renaissance Faire for four weekends, beginning May 18-19, 2024 and ending June 8-9, 2024. New Crossford is a village like any other in the English countryside in the 1500s. Nestled in the peaceful, wood-lined grassy meadows of the Duchy of Northumberland, the shire of New Crossford is a jewel in the cap of the noble Duke of Northumberland. Her fields are rich and her citizens filled with merriment and love of crown and country.
Most of the year, New Crossford is truly like any good English town, but at those magical times of the year, the solstices and the equinox, the magic of the ancient woods that loom over New Crossford come to life. Those fey woodlands are a link, a portal to different times and New Crossford sits on ley lines that make her a destination for visitors out of time who come to New Crossford to solve some dilemma in their lives.
The festival is held rain or shine, from 10 a.m. - 6 p.m. Each year at the festival, the people of New Crossford wait and see what figure out of myth and history arrives and help them find the way back on their paths. Each weekend will be filled with enchantment, adventure and new surprises that will leave you spellbound.
