Hear Ye, Hear Ye! Renaissance Faire returns to Spokane

Fairies, pirates, knights and more can catch all the merriment as the Ren Faire is back in Spokane on October 5 & 6 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

SPOKANE, Wash. — Where chivalry comes alive! The Spokane Renaissance Faire is returning for its 11th season on October 5 and 6 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day.

Throughout the weekends' festivities, you can catch events like the Seattle Knights, Spokane Shakespeare Society and Mermaid's Sing-a-long. A full list of events and performances can be found here.

Along with fun performances, there will be dozens of vendors selling neat gizmos and gadgets. The Spokane Renaissance Faire Facebook page has been spotlighting some of the vendors you'll be able to check out at the Ren Faire.

A fun Ren Faire tradition you can participate in is Trinket Trading. According to the Spokane Renaissance Faire, "Trinket trading is the giving or trading of small items also sometimes called Faire Favors, usually associated with your character."

There are some guidelines if you want to join in on the Trinket Trade: 

  • To be identified as a Trinket Trader, you must wear or display an orange ribbon (which you supply on your own)
  • Trinkets may not be sold
  • Do not trade trinkets in vendor booths
  • Don't trade trinkets, and/or talk loudly, during a performance
  • Trinkets should be small, cheap, and nominal value of less than $2
  • And if children are participating in the Trinket Trade, you must ask permission from their parent/guardian to trade with them

Tickets can be bought online or at the gate on the day of. For one day, adults 17 years old and up are $20, and children ages 6 through 16 and seniors are $15. Tickets for both days are $35 for adults 17 years old and up, and children ages 6 through 16 and seniors are $25.

The Ren Faire is also partnering with 2nd Harvest this year. If you bring in two cans of food for 2nd Harvest, you get $1 off your ticket at the front gate.
