Due to the continuance of the plague, the King and Queen of Hoggetowne have sought out the talents of Merlin the Magician to transport the annual festival into a most magical realm called - the internet. Guests can safely shop the medieval marketplace, watch performances and demonstrations, play along in the interactive quest, and engage with characters during live shows. Attendance is free.
Due to continuing health and safety concerns related to Covid-19 pandemic, we have made the very difficult decision cancel our in-person show for 2021. Although we will not be able to gather in person to enjoy the distinctive smell of hay mixed with funnel cake, our team is putting together a virtual festival lovingly called “Hoggetowne at Home: a Virtual Medieval Experience” where you can visit merchant booths, watch demonstrations and engage in activities from the comfort of home. We hope you will be able to join us virtually in 2021 and look forward to seeing everyone again in 2022.

SAVE THE DATE IN 2022
The 35th Annual
Hoggetowne Medieval Faire
Three Magical Weekends
January 15-16, 22-23, 28-30, 2022
For three magical weekends, a medieval village comes alive during festival season for the 35th Annual Hoggetowne Medieval Faire. The Faire showcases more than 160 talented artisans and craftspeople from all over the country, who arrive at Hoggetowne to display and sell a variety of goods. At the marketplace, visitors will find one-of-a-kind blacksmithing, jewelry, stone and wood carvings, weaving, hand-blown glassware, leather crafts, and period fashions. Master crafters will also show how they create their works of art. If walking through the market makes visitors hungry, they can head to the food court for a feast fit for a king. Tasty blooming onions, giant turkey legs, fresh-baked pastries, sweet potato fries and succulent ribs are just some of the foods available. Young lords and ladies can also be seen munching giant turkey legs.
