NorCal Renaissance Faire

Kids 12 and under get in free every single weekend, which makes this one of the best-value family days on the whole fall calendar. And the deadline worth knowing: opening weekend has adult tickets at $30 online instead of $42 — the only weekend priced that way. It's less a show you sit and watch than a village you walk into. Kids can follow the Rogue's Honor Games quest, watch the jousting and the falconry, and wander a marketplace of artisans forging, glassblowing, and haggling in character. Costumes are enthusiastically encouraged and nobody will look at you sideways. 📅 Weekends, September 19 – October 25, 2026 🕐 Saturdays & Sundays 10:00 AM–6:00 PM Six weekends, six themes: Opening Weekend (Sept 19–20), Pirate Invasion (Sept 26–27), Cottagecore (Oct 3–4) and More Cottagecore (Oct 10–11) for the fairy-wings crowd, Oktoberfest (Oct 17–18), and Halloween Fantasy (Oct 24–25) with costume contests and trick-or-treating through the village.
