Renaissance Pleasure Faire Cancelled, Citing Coronavirus Concerns.

To date many Renaissance Faires have already been canceled, and will not take place this year due to concerns about the spread of the novel coronavirus, COVID-19. 

As one large-scale event after another canceled or postponed throughout Southern California last week the Renaissance Pleasure Faire had initially said it would push back its planned opening by two weeks to April 18; however, by Tuesday, organizers decided not to open at all this year, and push off until next season, on April 3, 2021, with the 59th season.

“We appreciate your understanding and patience during this challenging time,” reads a  statement on the Renaissance Faire’s website. “Huzzah to the 2021 season! Godspeed, and stay safe!”
