Georgia Renaissance Festival

That’s a wrap on a wonderful season at the Georgia Renaissance Festival! ✨⚔️🍻🍗🧚🛡️

To our guests, performers, artisans, merchants, vendors, cast, crew, and staff: thank you for making this season so magical.

We are so grateful for this community and for everyone who chose to spend part of their spring with us.

Until the gates open again, thank you for a season full of joy, wonder, and memories.

Huzzah!

Hear ye, hear ye! 👑

Today is the final day of the Georgia Renaissance Festival’s Spring season. Once the gates close at 6:00 PM tonight, the village goes quiet for the summer.

If you’ve been waiting to join the revelry, this is your last chance.

✨ Today’s Theme: Legends of the Fae
⏰ Hours: 10:30 AM–6:00 PM

The day is looking cloudy, cool, and comfortable for one last stroll through Newcastle. We are open rain or shine, so toss a poncho in your bag just in case and come enjoy the final day of the realm.

The morning rain has mostly moved through, and the day is still very much happening. Toss a poncho in your bag just in case, gather your crew, and come enjoy the village.

🎶 May Way Will Bloom at Fool’s Knoll

🧚 Steel, songs, and a little fae magic.

This weekend is Legends of the Fae, and Newcastle has two special additions to the revelry:

⚔️ Buhurt Returns
Armored combat is back at the Joust Field! Watch fighters clash in full-force steel combat at 12:15 PM and 3:15 PM.

🎶 May Way Will Bloom
Catch Marc Gunn and May in this father-daughter folk-pop duo from Atlanta at Fool’s Knoll at 12:30 PM and 1:45 PM, blending Celtic folk, acoustic warmth, and contemporary pop into music about love, belonging, and family.

Come for the fae. Stay for the steel, songs, jousting, food, shopping, and one more weekend of magic in the village.

The Festival is open rain or shine.

Our final weekend is here, and Legends of the Fae is the last call to step into the village before the gates close for the season! 🌿🧚

Every fairy, elf, goblin, satyr, and dryad is being summoned out of the woods one last time. Wings, horns, glamour, and a little magical mischief? Highly encouraged.

✨ Legends of the Fae Costume Contest
Arrive as your fae self. Mythical woodland beings of every kind take the stage to show off their finery, their glamour, and their best bit of magical chaos. The forest rewards the bold.

✨ Fae Enchantment Challenge
One partner is charmed. The other holds the magic. The blindfolded "Charmed" must cross the obstacle course guided only by the voice of their "Fae." A spirited test of trust, teamwork, and quick thinking, with just the right touch of fantasy chaos.

Don't let the season slip away. Spend the last weekend with us!
