Georgia Renaissance Festival

🧚 The final weekend of the Georgia Renaissance Festival is here.

It’s Legends of the Fae Weekend, and the fairfolk are waiting in Newcastle for one last weekend of magic, music, mischief, and turkey legs before the gates close for the season.

We are open today from 10:30 AM to 6:00 PM, rain or shine.

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.

Today in Newcastle:
⚔️ Buhurt at the Joust Field
🎶 May Way Will Bloom at Fool’s Knoll
🏰 Jousting, shows, shopping, food, drink, and revelry

🚨 Important Ticket Info: Tickets are online only and will not be sold at the gate. Please purchase before you arrive.

🧚 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.
