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.
