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.
Thank you for helping us write the next chapter of Whidbey Ren Faire.
