We are beyond excited to bring our 3rd Annual Mini Ren Faire to Ashland! This is a rain or shine event as a few sprinkles don't scare us. Don't let them scare you :)

 If you love things Medieval, Pirates, Puffy Shirts, and so much more, this is for you. We'll have skits, crafts, vendors, and something for every age. This is not just a turkey leg extravaganza, it is also an opportunity to learn how people lived (and survived) back in the day with demonstrations and hands-on activities. We hope that you'll bring the whole family (in costume, of course :).

Click HERE for a map of vendors and a Schedule of Events - wooohooo! (*note, there may be changes on the day of so this is an idea of how awesome it will be)

Click HERE to Register - registration is requested so we know how many butter making supplies to have on hand :). 

This year we'll have even more demonstrations and hands-on activities with:

• Merchants and Artisans, including demonstrations of spinning, cooking, candle making and more!
• Jugglers and Jesters
• Roaming Musicians & a Knighting Ceremony with our Queen!
• Ashland High School Drama Club Medieval Skits
• Kids Crafts and Games (catapult & javelin throwing anyone?)
• The Friends of the Ashland Library Mini Donation and Book sale
• Dulce de Leche, Food Trucks - Trolley Dogs, and SubZero Ice Cream
• Butter Making and historical children’s games with Old Sturbridge Village
• Author Keith Willis
• Life Size Chess with Future Chess Masters
• Tarot, Crystal Balls, Apothecary, Blown Glass, Magic Wands, Face Painting & Temp Tattoos... And So Much More!

Ashlanders - one more thing, please consider popping on over to GreenUp Ashland's townwide cleanup event to grab your bag to do a little work around town. Then clean yourself up, get costumed up, and come on over to the Faire!

We are grateful that this event is funded, in part, by a generous grant from the Boston Athletic Association (BAA) as chosen by the Ashland SelectBoard.  This program is sponsored by the Friends of the Ashland Public Library.
