Oregon Renaissance Faire 2026
Every weekend in June 2026, the peaceful city of Canby, Oregon, transforms into the enchanting Vale of Dunrose — a lively Scottish-inspired village set during the reign of King James VI. This is the Oregon Renaissance Faire, a spectacular annual celebration that brings history, fantasy, and adventure together in one unforgettable experience.
From 10 AM to 7 PM on Saturdays and Sundays, and with special evening events on Saturdays from 7:30 PM to midnight, the festival invites guests to leave the modern world behind and step into an age of knights, minstrels, and merriment.
🏰 What to Expect
The Oregon Renaissance Faire is more than just an event — it’s a fully immersive escape. Visitors wander through a recreated 16th-century Scottish village bustling with full-contact jousting tournaments, street performers, fire acts, musicians, and colorful guilds. Multiple stages host continuous entertainment throughout the day, from theatrical plays to comedic skits and musical shows.
Artisans and vendors fill the marketplace with handcrafted wares, jewelry, and traditional crafts. Food lovers will find plenty to enjoy in the themed food court and ale-houses, serving medieval-style dishes and drinks such as mead and local brews.
Costumes are highly encouraged — you’ll see nobles, pirates, fairies, and even time travelers mingling through the crowds. Still, even without a costume, every guest becomes part of the story.
👨👩👧 Family & Accessibility
The Faire is proudly family-friendly. Kids under five get in free, youth tickets are available for ages 6–12, and anyone under 18 must attend with an adult. The festival grounds include free parking (Yellow, Red & Blue lots) and ADA-reserved spaces, though much of the terrain consists of grassy fields. Events go on rain or shine, as befits the resilient Pacific Northwest spirit.
Tickets are available at the official site: Oregon Renaissance Faire Tickets.
