Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire
Manheim, PA · 47 minutes from Reading

Plan the day
The Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire is a weekend Renaissance festival on the grounds of Mount Hope Estate & Winery in Manheim, PA, with jousting, stage shows and craft merchants across 35-plus acres.
Eleven themed weekends, from Viking Weekend to Oktoberfest to three Halloween Days & Spooky Knights weekends, fill the shire with the Ultimate Joust on horseback, human chess, stunt and music shows, pub crawls, falconry and glassblowing classes, and guests in costume are part of the scene. Gates open at 11 AM and the site runs to 8 PM, so plan a full day. Yuletide follows in November and December.
