In route to open our first weekend at Pittsburgh Renaissance Festival ! Whiskey and Mead weekend!

Due to concerns over the weather forecast tomorrow and how it will affect the grounds, Management at the Pittsburgh Renaissance Festival has made the difficult decision to postpone opening this weekend in the interest of safety. Please be patient just one more week. The Faire will open next weekend with all the excitement and friends we have been counting down for!

It was a long day but I'm really excited to open Pittsburgh Renaissance Festival 2026 this weekend. My booth looks great this year and since my ladder privileges were revoked due to supposed "unsafe practices" (ppssshh whatever) I got the sign hung however I got the sign hung. "Make Sketchy Choices!"
