  The Door County Renaissance Fantasy Faire will be showcasing a myriad of talents and products. Artisans are the backbone of every Renaissance Faire and we believe they are key to keeping the continuity of a festival's theme and immersing the patron in the Renaissance experience. We shall strive to accommodate the needs of our artisans and entertainers and to make them feel at home. Join us as we develop this exciting platform to showcase arts, history, and educational entertainment.
We invite Historical re-enactors to display lifestyles, arts and sciences from the Medieval period thru the Renaissance in open, interactive encampments. We desire vendors who can act and hawk their wares from market tents filled with fine handcrafted treasures and actors who can sell history. We want food vendors who will prepare tasty treats of the time at the Renaissance marketplace where the most delectable food and drink fit for a king will be available to satisfy curious taste buds. Giant turkey legs, fine sausage sandwiches, soup in a bread bowl, kettle corn, decadent chocolates and fine ales will tempt every appetite! As well we will feature Door County treats such as fine apple and cherry products, cider, maple syrup, delicious baked goods and fresh cheese curd. Vendor and Participant Info
