So as we usually say,

“The Wicked Winter Renaissance Faire is a miniature explosion of entertainment and activity, wrapped up in a fresh-baked Renaissance Faire exterior, filled to the brim with big tasty chunks of well-seasoned festival, spiced with a bit of convention, then dipped in a sauce of unconvention, and served at a terribly low price during one fantastic frenetic weekend every year. Only not so much with the “miniature” part. There are so many madly diverse fun things going on at any one time that, in general, if you come looking to find a good time, you are damn likely to find one.”

For years, we’ve claimed that Wicked Faire was an event you should attend because we combine a Renaissance Faire’s ability to step outside of the ordinary world… with what is very possibly the most extravagant, eclectic, exciting, amazing, fun, fascinating, enthralling, absorbing, joyous all-you-can-experience buffet of entertainment, delights, shows, interaction, and fun in the world.

But that’s not exactly the truth.

Don’t get us wrong.  Wicked Faire IS all that–and much, much, much more.

But more than anything else, Wicked Faire is the one place in the Universe absolutely, totally, unbreakably, unstoppably and thoroughly devoted to creating a weekend where every kind of not-normal person out there can find a home – and to Hell with dividing it up between geek/steampunk/goth/kink/pagan/renaissance/queer/rocky, or whatever:  this is a goddamn banquet, and we want to enjoy all of it!

That’s why we’re 16-and-up, not 18-and-up – because weird people in high school need this more than anybody.

That’s why people keep coming back.   Because there are very few places on earth where you can find what we have.

And if these things sound good to you – then you have come to exactly the right place.

And here’s what a few Wickedgoers said about us recently:

“A cornucopia of performance, art, goodies and fun for people of all persuasions.”

“A wonderland of geek, fantasy and fun for mature but whimsical people to gather and play.”

“For most people, Halloween is a time to pretend to be someone else. But for many of us, it’s a chance to show who we truly are. Why should we do this only once a year? Welcome to Jeff Mach’s Wicked Faire Halloween…”

“I would marry Wicked Faire if I could.  Since I can’t, I married someone I met there (and we’re on our third anniversary!)”

“Renaissance Faire meets Con meets Adult Novelties meets Side Show meets non-stop fun…I think that covers about half of it. In all seriousness, Wicked is 3 days of offerings with a little bit of everything for anyone to enjoy.”

“What? What just happened? And how was it so awesome? (And why am I wet and sticky?)”
