Scarborough Renaissance Festival

05/28/2026

What a season. 🏰💜 Our 45th year is officially one for the history books, and that’s because of you.

To our guests who walked through the gates ready to play, to lose yourselves in the magic, and to come back weekend after weekend: thank you.

To our performers who gave us chills, belly laughs, and standing ovations.

To our artisans and vendors who pour their craft into every handmade treasure.

To our staff and volunteers who showed up before dawn and stayed long after the last torch went out.

45 seasons of turkey legs, swordfights, royal processions, and joy you can’t find anywhere else. And somehow this one felt extra magical.

Until we meet again, we’ll be counting down the days. The gates may be closed, but the magic never really leaves. ✨

This Memorial Day, we pause to honor those who gave everything in service to our country.

At Scarborough, Monday belongs to our heroes. All active and retired military members are invited to the Village Armoury from 10am to noon to receive a yellow sash, then march with us in the 1pm Grand Parade. The day continues at the Royal Pavilion with a presentation of colors and our Fallen Heroes Tribute.

We are honored to welcome David Davidson as this year's guest speaker. A Vietnam Era Navy veteran and retired Assistant Chief Deputy U.S. Marshal, David is also a familiar face to longtime patrons, having portrayed the Earl of Bothwell at Scarborough from 2000 to 2018.

Closing weekend is the loudest, liveliest, most full-send version of the Village all year. Music. Merriment. Magic. Memorial Day tributes. One final Huzzah before the gates close.
