Due to continuing health and safety concerns related to Covid-19 pandemic, we have made the very difficult decision cancel our in-person show for 2021. While our staff have worked diligently to develop a plan for safety and mitigation measures, it has been determined that there are too many challenges to overcome during these uncertain times.
Although we will not be able to gather in person to enjoy the distinctive smell of hay mixed with funnel cake, our team is putting together a virtual festival lovingly called “Hoggetowne at Home” where you can visit merchant booths, watch demonstrations and engage in activities from the comfort of your own home.
More details about “Hoggetowne at Home” will be shared on our website and Facebook page over the coming months. We hope you will be able to join us virtually in 2021 and look forward to seeing everyone again in 2022.

For three consecutive weekends, a medieval village comes alive during the 35th Annual Hoggetowne Medieval Faire. The blasts of trumpets mingle with the laughter of children as the kingdom of Hoggetowne opens its gates. Olde world dancers and singers captivate crowds, while hundreds of artisans sell jewelry, hand-blown glassware, wood carvings and medieval clothing. Guests can enjoy acts on nine stages of entertainment, with performances by gypsy dancers and mystifying magicians. On the jousting field, armored knights battle one another from horseback for the honor of the King and Queen. In conjunction with this year’s theme of the tales of Robin Hood, the Tournament Field will host a stunning show of combat entertainment during living chess matches.
Children can embark on their own adventures by enjoying human-powered push rides and camel and pony rides. Guests who arrive early will be greeted by a gathering of performers, actors and characters.
