Hear ye! Hear ye! The New Jersey Renaissance Faire begins its16th glorious season this May

Pirates - Michael Ulrich (1)
May 17-18, 24-25, 31 and June 1, 7-8, Burlington County Fairgrounds, 1990 Jacksonville, Jobstown Rd,  Columbus, NJ.

It's the 1700s, with the Golden Age of Piracy approaching its peak, and King  George of England, seeing his own navy outmatched by these ambitious cutthroats, has  made a risky deal. Whomever swears loyalty to the crown of England may continue  their piracy as a “privateer.Whilst this offer is compelling, the clemency it offers  comes with a steep price of strict rules, and requires payments to the royal crown. 

This season’s story focuses on Mary Read, a fearsome pirate in her own right.  When her husband passes, Mary disguises herself as a man to enter the royal Navy, then  later defects to piracy and begins a successful new… “career.” This Spring, we embark  on a moment in which time is running out for Mary, as the shadow of King George  looms ever closer. Will Mary Read give up her life of freedom and glory for a King’s  pay and a pretty collar? Or will she continue to risk her life on the high seas, knowing it  could end in a trip to the gallows? We shall see… 

Apart from the compelling interactive storyline, visitors to the faire  can enjoy spectacular performances by nationally-renowned acts such as TikTok  sensation Jacques Ze Whipper, delightful musical peasants Bardy Pardy, the ever popular and ever-bawdy vocal stylings of Chaste Treasure and the Righteous  Blackguards, Juggling Jester Paolo Garbanzo, and so much more! In addition to these  world-class performers, fairegoers can experience a village of eclectic artisans and  merchants, delicious food booths, more shady tented areas, and opportunities to explore  the vast “Village of Crossford” and its wide variety of offerings.

The NJ Ren Faire has blossomed over the years to host over 5,000 patrons daily in its new home at the Burlington County Fairgrounds, and is known throughout the lands  for their inclusive community and engaging interactive cast. From a four-horse joust,  human chess match, whiskey tasting, and Saturday night after-hours shows, to pony  rides, magic shows, fairy tea parties, and kid-friendly performances and activities in  Nipper's Grove, the NJ Renaissance Faire has something for patrons of all ages. Come  dressed up, and join the fun!
