Chico Renaissance Festival: Golden Goblet Faire

02/10/2026

We’ve seen your comments, messages, and concerns regarding the Renaissance Faire cancellation.

While the Renaissance Faire will not be moving forward (for now), our love for our community is not going anywhere.

We’ll continue hosting the kinds of gatherings that brought us together in the first place:

🔥 Fireside Gatherings
🗺️ Golden Goblet Hunts
🧵 Craft Nights
✨ Smaller, intentional community events

This was a hard decision made with care, sustainability, and love for this community. Thank you for being here and for staying.

The Golden Goblet Faire is canceled. Thanks to all who have been following and supporting us thus far. We are sorry that we were unable to fulfill the vision we had for Chico.
