This is where the magic started 63 years ago, right here at the original Renaissance Pleasure Faire and the site of LA's largest costume party! For seven glorious weekends, visitors embark on a rollicking romp through Elizabethan England, complete with a spectacular cast of engaging, memorable characters who lead you on an adventure through a beautiful 20-acre site with open-air stages just 15 minutes east of Pasadena at the Santa Fe Dam Recreational Area, Irwindale. Hundreds of costumed performers await you as you enter the gates into the Faire’s magical village replete with pubs, shops, demonstrations, games, and fantastic food for vegans, vegetarians, and foodies alike. Play along and join us as your alter ego be it King, Queen, pirate, sorcerer, or anything you want to be for the day. Or don’t come in costume at all. It’s your day. Enjoy it your way.

Spanning nearly three acres, the indoor-outdoor storybook world is filled with illuminated pathways, larger-than-life art installations and over five million lights designed to ignite the senses. This year’s event goes far beyond a traditional walk-through experience. It’s been reimagined as a fully immersive, interactive environment where guests are encouraged to explore, play, and discover at every turn with hands-on crafts, games and activities woven throughout the experience.
