The fair promises revelry, merriment and mirth through an array of shows and demonstrations including: folk music, comedy, combat, storytelling, fairy tales and even magic. 

Vendors will also be on hand, peddling wares like jewelry, costumes, ceramics and wooden items, and food will be available for purchase.

Face masks are required for all attendees, vendors and performers and social distancing measures will be observed.

Acts reprising their performances at the fair this year are Bell, Book and Canto, Swords of Valor and The Idiot Ric Roc

Niles first hosted its Renaissance Faire in 2018 and repeated the event in 2019. The fair returns now for its third year after festivities were cancelled because of COVID-19 last year.

Tickets are $5 for adults, $3 for children ages 5 through 12. There is no cost for kids 4 and younger, and patrons are encouraged to bring blankets or chairs to enjoy the festivities as they unfold.
