The Legend Grows: The Robin Hood Renaissance Faire Returns for its 5th Annual Faire!
The Rotary Club of Elko invites you to don your tunic, crown, or cloak and journey to Lamoille Grove for a magical weekend at the 5th Annual Robin Hood Renaissance Faire—a festival of merriment, medieval adventure, and meaningful community impact.
Join us August 29 & 30, 2026, in beautiful Lamoille Grove for a weekend filled with medieval adventure, entertainment, and community spirit. Saturday hours are 9 AM to 5 PM and Sunday hours are 9 AM to 3 PM, these expanded hours allow even more time to explore, experience, and enjoy all the Faire has to offer.
This unique, family-friendly event began in 2021 as a creative way to fund Rotary’s local youth and community programs, including the Rotary Speech Contest, scholarship programs for local students, distributing dictionaries to third graders, sending local youth to RYLA Camp, and supporting additional community projects. Now in its fifth year, the Faire has grown into a beloved community tradition.
🛡️ New This Year:
Get ready for even more hands-on history! We’re introducing metal forging and candle making workshops, alongside expanded quests that turn the entire Faire into an interactive adventure for the whole family. Take note of our new schedule: we’re moving to August with extended hours to give you more time to explore Sherwood Forest.
🏹 Returning Favorites:
Archery fun and competition, ax throwing, costume contest, and The Royal Court brought to life by the ever-theatrical Silver Stage Players return alongside live music, stage performances, antics, and story-telling entertainment for all ages. Guests can explore the Renaissance Marketplace filled with artisan vendors, food, demonstrations, and handcrafted goods, along with family-friendly games, crafts, music, and more.
Costumes are encouraged (but not required), and attendees of all ages are welcome. Whether you come to browse the marketplace, try your hand at archery, enjoy themed foods, or simply soak in the atmosphere, the Faire promises something for everyone.
