The Faire
The Faire
The Shediac Renaissance Faire is a two-day transformation of the Neptune Drive-In grounds into a living village of spectacle, strength, craft, and community.
By day, the field hums with music, steel, laughter, and hands-on play. Strongmen lift. Blades flash. Artisans hammer and stitch. Children race between field games. Vendors form a bustling marketplace of food, craft, and curiosities. Workshops invite participation, not passive watching. The experience feels immersive but welcoming; theatrical without being intimidating.
By evening, the mood deepens. Firelight, mead, performance, and spectacle give the grounds a pulse. The drive-in screen becomes part of the magic rather than separate from it.

Faire Highlights
SPECTACLE & COMBAT
Strongman trials. Axe throwing. Fire shows. LARPing. A maritime sword school demonstration. The kind of programming where you lean forward in your seat, and then abandon the seat entirely.

THE MARKETPLACE
Artisans, craftspeople, and merchants from across the region, their stalls forming a village of curiosities, handmade goods, and things you did not know you needed until you saw them.
→ Meet Our Vendors
FEASTING & REVELRY
The Faire Feast: a separate-ticket banquet with a comedian-jester, live entertainment, and food worthy of a medieval hall. Beyond the feast, the grounds will be rich with food vendors and drink. You will not go hungry. You may, however, need a bigger belt.

AFTER DARK
When the sun sets, the Faire does not end. It transforms. Fire shows by Geomatrix. Fireworks. Short films. And then the Neptune Drive-In screen lights up for a movie under the stars. Your Faire wristband gets you in the gate; the movie is available as an add-on.

PLAY
This is not an event where you watch from behind a rope. Free-to-play games are scattered across the grounds: archery, giant Jenga, caber toss, cornhole, hay bale parkour, pillow jousting, pub dice, a knight’s training course for kids, potato sack races, hoop rolling, and a photo hunt that sends children on a quest across the Faire. Workshops invite you to make things with your hands. Participation is not optional. It is the point.

The Shediac Renaissance Faire is produced by Shediac Wonderland, the family of Alice-in-Wonderland-inspired businesses created by Sébastien Després and Heather Wright. Le Moque-Tortue (our board game bistro), Morse et Marteaux BBQ (our smokehouses throughout Shediac), Le Griffon (bed & breakfast), The Neptune (our Drive-In Theatre), Adorable Chocolat (our artisanal chocolaterie), Bazar Neptune (Saturday market), and Witzend Tours & Adventures (tours, escape rooms, and concierge): each one a chapter of a larger story about what happens when a community decides to take play seriously.
The Shediac Renaissance Faire is the chapter where the whole town becomes the stage, the centuries blur, and nobody is entirely sure whether the spectacle is in the arena or in the crowd.
