The 7^th Annual Mancos Renaissance Faire

Presented by:

Mancos Public Library

The 7th Annual Mancos Renaissance Faire is coming up August 20th and 21st and it’s shaping up to be better than ever this year!

We have a fabulous line-up of Performers and members of the Society for Creative Anachronism will be participating as well.

The Faire will have Belly-dancers, Gypsies, Storytellers, Magic, Swordplay, Performers on Horseback, Combat demonstrations, Archery, “Fight-a-Knight”, the Mud Pit performers, Music, Fire-Dancing and much more!

And this year we are upping our publicity push to attract more visitors to the Faire, from surrounding local communities to tourists.

There are still some slots available for one of the most important features of the Mancos Renaissance Faire:  Artisans!

If you are interested in displaying and selling your handmade wares, contact this year’s Faire Manager, Marguerite Scott.

We are particularly interested in items that reflect the theme and time period, so Artisans that work with their hands/natural materials such as Basket-Weaving, Pottery, Period Clothing, Metal-Smithing, etc will fit right in.

Vendor sites are only $50.00 (15 x 15) and $100 (15 x 30) for BOTH DAYS!

The Merchant/Vendor Contract  can be found on this website on the right.

A free screening of the film “Faire:  An American Renaissance”

What is Faire: An American Renaissance?

This documentary explores the amazing true story of a community that sparked a worldwide phenomenon.

In 1963, from a small field on Haskels Rascals Ranch in Los Angeles, an event known as the “Renaissance Pleasure Faire” was born as a class project by a history teacher.  From a school yard fundraiser, Ron and Phylis Patterson took a weekend event and turned it into a worldwide phenomenon.  In the years since, movements blossoming from the Faire include street performance, handmade arts & crafts, and living history scenarios which were all given new life.

Some 45 years later, Faire as it is affectionately known, touches the lives of millions of people a year as attendees, booth owners, and performers.

Recently struggling to redefine itself , the Faire now competes with the Internet, Raves, and Burning Man. The documentary follows the incredible and insightful journey of a quirky group of people that defined a uniquely American movement.  Join the original participants as they share their stories and struggle to find their place in a changing world.
