If you venture into the woods this fall in Carver, Massachusetts, you'll stumble upon a very surreal sight—knights thundering past on powerful horses, fire-eaters swallowing flames, fairies dancing, and men sword-fighting. It's not a portal to the past; rather, it's the 43rd season of King Richard's Faire, the New England Renaissance Festival, which entertains people every weekend in September and October.

The faire unfolds across 80 wooded acres, delighting visitors with performances on eight vibrant stages, incredible human powered games and rides and succulent food fit for a King! A stroll through the artisan marketplace isn't complete without a trip to the Faire's Remembrance Shop. Faire-goers can enjoy giant spit roasted turkey legs while sipping on frosty craft brews or wine at their leisure throughout their magical escape to a world where handsome knights battle on horseback.
