Midsummer Fantasy Renaissance Faire 2026: Visitor's Guide
Elves, fairies, and goblins take over Warsaw Park each summer. The Midsummer Fantasy Renaissance Faire celebrates its 15th season across three weekends in 2026: June 27-28, July 4-5, and July 11-12 in Ansonia, Connecticut.
What the faire is
Midsummer Fantasy leans into the fantastical — a world of elves, fairies, orcs, goblins, and magic. Across five stages you'll find full-contact jousting, comedy and stage shows, music, magic, and live combat, plus a marketplace of artisan and craft vendors and plenty of food and drink. Try your hand at archery and axe throwing while you're there.
Themed weekends
Each of the three weekends has its own theme, with costume contests daily: Celtic Weekend, Warrior Weekend, and "Halloween in July."

The faire is at Warsaw Park, 119 Pulaski Highway, Ansonia, CT — in the Naugatuck Valley, an easy drive from New Haven and Bridgeport. Check the official site for current ticket pricing and hours.
