Oregon Renaissance Faire 2026
Every weekend in June, the peaceful grounds of the Clackamas County Fairgrounds in Canby transform into something extraordinary. The Oregon Renaissance Faire invites you to step back in time to Renaissance-era Scotland — the mythical Vale of Dunrose — where knights joust, minstrels play, artisans craft, and the spirit of adventure fills every corner of the grounds.
Whether you come in costume or come simply to watch, this is one of Oregon's most immersive and joyful outdoor experiences. Four full weekends means four chances to explore, discover something new, and make memories that last well beyond the summer. Details and confirmation can be found here.
Event highlights
Full-contact jousting tournaments with skilled knights competing in the arena throughout the day — one of the most exciting live spectacles in Oregon.
Seven performance stages running continuous entertainment from 10 AM to 7 PM including theatrical plays, comedic performances, musical acts, fire performers, and acrobats.
A sprawling artisan marketplace filled with handcrafted goods, unique gifts, custom costumes, jewelry, leather goods, and Renaissance-era wares from talented makers across the Pacific Northwest.
Costumed cast members, roving performers, guild members, and interactive characters throughout the grounds creating a fully immersive experience at every turn.
Delicious food from across the realm — turkey legs, meat pies, fresh-baked bread, sweet treats, and more.
Costume and cosplay encouraged for all ages — come dressed as a knight, a noble, a wizard, or anything in between.
All four weekends of June means you can come once and come back — the experience is rich enough to reward multiple visits.
