Fall & Fantasy Festival – Leadership Announcement

As we prepare for our third year of the Fall & Fantasy Festival, I want to take a moment to share an important and exciting update for the future of the event.

Please join me in welcoming Trent Johnson as the new President of the Fall & Fantasy Festival.

Trent has been a close friend of mine for several years and has played an active role in the festival’s growth from the very beginning. Many of you have likely seen him behind the scenes or working directly with guests, performers, and vendors. His passion for the Renaissance community, his dedication to creating meaningful experiences, and the way he shows up for others speak for themselves.

Trent has earned this role through his time, effort, and the heart he brings into everything he does. I have full confidence in his leadership and his vision for where the festival can go from here.

I will still be heavily involved moving forward, continuing to support the festival and help shape its direction. But this transition allows the event to grow even further, with fresh leadership taking on the day-to-day responsibilities and continuing to build something truly special for our community.

The Fall & Fantasy Festival has always been about collaboration, creativity, and shared passion and this is a reflection of that.

We’re incredibly excited for what’s ahead.

Please give Trent a warm welcome as he steps into this role and helps lead us into the next chapter of the festival.

-Jake Wallin, Fall & Fantasy Founder

Order some goodies from one of our good faire vendors!

Unfortunately the weather was not on our side this weekend resulting in less than expected foot traffic at the market but lucky for everyone else we have an over abundance of product left over and offering it all at HALF OFF!! Cake Pops will be a dozen for $10 and can be mixed and matched flavors! Help us out by grabbing some of your favorites, can leave for porch pick up or can deliver within the Sauk Valley area!
