Scarborough Faire's first run was in 1981. The festival is open Saturdays and Sundays from the first weekend in April until Memorial Day Monday. The festival is historically based in the 16th century, under the reign of King Henry VIII. The festival is 35 acres (140,000 m2) site. There are over 20 stages with more than 200 performances. Three full combat jousting shows take place each day. There are about 100 cast members that make up the characters at Scarborough Renaissance Festival.[1][2][3]
The Scarborough Renaissance Festival also features an Artisan Marketplace with 200 shops selling goods such as candles, soaps, jewelry, children's toys and even musical instruments. Many of the craftsmen selling their goods also provide demonstrations on how the items are made. The festival also features 5 food Kitchens - a selection of food stalls serving turkey legs (the festival serves over 20 tons of this signature food item per year), food skewers, sandwiches, ice cream and other items.[4][5]
Special programs at Scarborough include "Friends of the Faire", an exclusive festival membership with benefits, Group Sales and Wedding Packages, which you may purchase to have your own Renaissance-themed wedding in the festival's special Wedding Garden. Plus daily beer & wine tasting events.[6]
