Chattanooga Renaissance Faire 2026

Chattanooga Renaissance Faire 2026 returns on November 14–15, 2026, expanding across Coolidge Park and Renaissance Park in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The two-day event brings live entertainment, armored combat, artisan vendors, and interactive storytelling to the city’s North Shore riverfront.

Dates and Opening Hours

• Saturday, November 14: 10 AM–8 PM.
• Sunday, November 15: 10 AM–5 PM.

Entertainment in the Kingdom of Aldston

The faire unfolds in the fictional Kingdom of Aldston, where a royal birthday celebration becomes tangled in a disappearance, courtly rumors, and matchmaking complications. Roaming characters draw visitors into the story throughout the weekend.

The expanded grounds feature three entertainment stages, combat arenas, music, stationed and wandering performers, and traditional craft demonstrations. Blacksmiths, metalsmiths, potters, and other craftspeople demonstrate their skills alongside the artisan marketplace. Food vendors and taverns provide refreshments, while trinket trading adds another way to participate.

From Night Market to Renaissance Faire

The event grew out of a Renaissance-themed Night Market organized by Verre Noir. Its reception inspired the first Chattanooga Renaissance Faire at Coolidge Park in May 2026. The November edition expands that earlier gathering into a two-day event across two parks.

A distinctive feature is its temporary construction: stages, decorated merchant spaces, banners, and a castle-style structure are assembled on public parkland, creating a village that disappears again after the weekend.
