The Northern California Renaissance Festival!


  • The Northern California Renaissance Festival! 10031 Pacheco Pass Highway Hollister, CA, 95023 United States (map)

Come celebrate the harvest with us as the streets and pathways of our village come to life! Our marketplace of master artisans once again offers the latest designs and finest hand work in blown glass, keen blades, armor and chain mail, romantic clothing, leather-work, woodwork, hand wrought jewelry, sculpture and much, much more. Stop to play a game of darts, sip an ale or sink your teeth into delicious fare while perusing the fine crafts displayed throughout the shire. Then, sit, relax and watch a show on one of our beautiful stages located throughout the marketplace or interact with some of the locals before heading on.

For those who wish to fully immerse themselves in the complete faire experience we recommend wearing a costume. If you don’t have one of your own, you can rent one just inside our gates at Belrose Costumes or purchase some new finery to take home from one of our quality merchants. From classic Renaissance attire to saucy pirate gear to gypsy tribal garb, we have a huge selection of unique hand crafted clothing, jewelry and accessories that you won’t find in your average shopping mall.
