Performers, Demonstrators, and Attractions

The Richmond Ren Faire is looking for local and regional performers, artisan demonstrations, and interactive attractions to help us build a celebration full of creativity and connection on April 17-18, 2027 at Dorey Park.

We’re hoping to connect with:

• Stage & Roaming Performers – musicians, actors, acrobats, puppeteers, comedians, and more!
• Demonstrators & Artisans – historical reenactment groups, encampments, hands-on crafts, demonstrations, and workshops that invite people to learn and participate. (Please note that vendors/merchants require a separate application).
• Attractions / Interactive Experience Providers –  games, quests, participatory art, or anything that encourages guests to dive into the environment.

Why get involved?

• We love highlighting local and regional talent, and we want to showcase the richness and diversity of our community.
• While many parts of the Faire are organized in-house, we’re opening this call to the public to ensure everyone has a chance to shape the experience.
• This is a chance to share your creativity, engage directly with the community, and be part of Richmond’s annual Ren Faire.

Apply now! Spaces are limited, and we want your voice, vision, and artistry to be part of this new Richmond tradition.
