About
Whidbey Ren Faire began as a dream to bring wonder, creativity, and community together on Whidbey Island. In just two years, that dream has grown beyond anything we imagined — welcoming nearly 8,000 guests in our first year and over 11,000 in our second.
Now we are working toward the next great step: creating a permanent home for the Faire.
We have identified a beautiful 53-acre property on Whidbey Island that could become the future site of Mysthaven, a year-round home for Whidbey Ren Faire and other community events.
This land would allow us to build something truly special over time — a permanent village of guild halls, market lanes, stages, and gathering spaces where stories, music, and adventure can live year after year.
Your support helps us:
• Secure land for a permanent Faire site
• Increase accessibility and improve facilities
• Build infrastructure for future festivals and community gatherings
• Expand educational and cultural programming
We are seeking community support to help raise $300,000 toward the purchase of this land.
Every contribution, large or small, brings us one step closer to building Mysthaven — a place where imagination, history, and community come alive. The names of our Founders will be recorded in the Ledger of Mysthaven and later honored in the village itself.
>>>For a limited time only, the first 100 supporters will receive a FREE download of "Regnum Phantasiae Vivit - Official Theme of Whidbey Ren Faire" composed by Jonathan Abel for Whidbey Ren Faire!<<<
Thank you for helping us write the next chapter of Whidbey Ren Faire.
