About The Renaissance Pleasure Faire

The Renaissance Pleasure Faire in Baldwin Park features a recreation of Renaissance-era culture where visitors watch blacksmiths and weavers at work, observe glassblowers creating pieces from raw materials, and witness Elizabethan cooking demonstrations. Entertainment spans twelve performance areas with jousting, Shakespeare performances, and wandering characters throughout the grounds. Kids' Kingdom offers embroidery classes, herb sachet crafting, wheat weaving, brass rubbings, and a Gnome Hunt, while children can participate in knighting ceremonies and Maypole dances. The marketplace displays handcrafted goods including leather work, jewelry, aromatherapy items, and Renaissance clothing. Visitors encounter the parade, Queen Elizabeth holding court, the Yeomen of the Guard, and the closing ceremony with cast farewell songs. Dining options and artisan vendors complement the experience. Theme weekends add specialized activities like pirate celebrations with trivia, treasure hunts, and sailing instruction.
