WEEKEND & VIP PASSES

On Saturday there will be an expedited line for those who already have a wristband.

PLEASE NOTE: We cannot guarantee tickets are valid unless they was purchased directly from us.

Champions of our Faire

Great realms are built by more than its dreamers. Our Faire exists because of the remarkable businesses, organizations, and community partners who chose to believe in an impossible thing: that a small seaside town can become a kingdom for a weekend.

Our Faire is a world that our sponsors helped bring to life. As you wander in Shediac, we invite you to seek out these generous patrons and thank them for helping transform imagination into reality. From every member of our Guild—and from every knight, minstrel, merchant, and wandering adventurer who passes through our gates, Thank you. We couldn’t have done it without you.

Parlee Beach Provincial Park

SPECTACLE ET COMBAT

Strongman trials. LARPing. Sword demonstrations. Buhurt. Horse trials. Escrime. The kind of programming where you lean forward in your seat, and then abandon the seat entirely.

JOUER

This is not an event where you watch from behind a rope. Free-to-play games are scattered across the grounds: archery, tons of workshops for little kids and big kids alike, and quests across the Faire.

À LA TOMBÉE DE LA NUIT

When the sun sets, the Faire does not end. It transforms. A fire show by Geomatrix. A beach party. 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 (after-tax prices: $12 adults, $8 kids, $40 carload).

LE MARCHÉ

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. Paintings, leather goods, medieval jewellery, handmade hats, build-your-own-spell jars, ceramics, chain mail art, candles, wood crafts, etc.!

FÊTE ET FOLIE

The grounds will be rich with food and drink. You will not go hungry! House-made pickles, turkey legges, stewes in ye bread bowls, hand pies, rolles of lobster, Fryes, poutines, concession treats – the list goes on. Make sure you have a few extra notches in your belt.

A separate-VIP Banquet and VIP Feast will take place each night for VIP ticket holders – live entertainment and food worthy of a medieval hall! (VIP PASSES ARE SOLD OUT).

The Les médiévales de Shédiac is produced by Shediac Wonderland, the family of story-driven businesses created by Sébastien Després and Heather Wright. Le Moque-Tortue (our board game bistro), Morse et Marteaux BBQ Smokehouses & Lobster Shacks (with four locations throughout Shediac), Le Griffon (bed & breakfast), The Neptune (our Drive-In Theatre), Adorable Chocolat (our artisanal chocolaterie), Bazar Neptune (Friday sunset market), and Witzend Aventures et Tournées (tours, escape rooms, and concierge): each one a chapter of a larger story about what happens when a community decides to take play seriously.

Les Médiévales de Shédiac sont le chapitre où toute la ville devient une scène, où les siècles s'estompent, et où personne ne sait vraiment si le spectacle se déroule dans l'arène ou au sein de la foule.
