Avalon Faire

04/29/2026

The 2026 season of Avalon Faire has come to a close and our hearts are full. What an incredible few weeks it has been!

From the moment the gates opened, the realm came alive with laughter, music, and merriment. Seeing our beloved characters walk the paths once more—and even more so, watching so many of you step into the magic alongside them—was truly something special. Knights, villagers, nobles, and rogues alike… you made Avalon Faire feel real.

To our amazing cast, vendors, performers, and every hand behind the scenes who work hard to build and keep the grounds groomed —your passion, talent, and dedication are what bring this world to life. To our wonderful patrons who came out to celebrate, explore, and play—you are just as much a part of the story as anyone who works at Avalon Faire.

We say this often, but it bears repeating: Avalon Faire would not exist without each and every one of you. It takes a village to build a kingdom, and we are so grateful for ours.

Thank you for making the 2026 season one to remember. We are already dreaming, planning, and preparing for what’s to come.

Until we meet again next spring… may your days be merry and your paths lead you back to Avalon.

See you in 2027 !

Telling the bees

In medieval Europe, monasteries commonly kept beehives as part of their farms. Bees were extremely valuable because they produced honey, the main sweetener before widespread sugar imports, and beeswax, which was essential for making church candles. Since monasteries required large quantities of candles for daily prayers and religious ceremonies, maintaining healthy bee colonies was very important.

From this deep dependence on bees grew a tradition known as “telling the bees.” In many parts of Europe, people believed bees were sensitive creatures that needed to be informed of important events in the household or community. If the beekeeper failed to share the news, the bees might stop producing honey, abandon the hive, or even die.

When a major event occurred—such as a death, birth, marriage, or the arrival of a new head of household—the beekeeper would go to the hives and quietly speak to the bees, often tapping gently on the hive or tying a small black ribbon on it during times of mourning. The message might be as simple as announcing the news and asking the bees to remain and continue their work.

While the custom is mostly associated with rural folklore in England and parts of Europe, it reflects the deep respect people had for bees and their importance to everyday life. In places where monasteries kept large apiaries, bees were seen almost as members of the community—faithful workers whose labor provided sweetness, light, and livelihood to the world around them.
