Richmond Renaissance Faire

Tickets are officially ON SALE to Warriors in Bloom, taking place on August 1st and 2nd from 11-5pm ⚔️🌷

Virago Alley, the non-profit behind the Richmond Ren Faire, brings history to life on the stunning grounds of Agecroft Hall highlighting powerful figures from ancient civilizations through the 17th century. This event is rooted in a deeper purpose: reclaiming space in history for those whose stories have often been overlooked, simplified, or erased. These figures share a common thread in the roles and expectations placed upon them reflecting resilience, leadership, and resistance to limitation.

Virago Alley seeks to reclaim the word “virago,” once used to scorn women of strength, to invite others to feel empowered in spite of the expectations that society has placed on them. This event is not just a tribute, but a declaration of identity to honor viragos past and inspire those yet to come.

This immersive event features a mix of performances, storytelling, crafting activities, and an open-air artisan market. Enjoy local vendors, historically inspired fare, and a variety of family-friendly activities in a setting that perfectly blends past and present.

Thank you to Style Weekly for this thoughtful
article that captures some of the mission of this event 🖤⚔️

The inaugural Richmond Ren Faire showed kids slices of life dating back to 2,000 B.C. — with the lack of cellphones an added bonus.

Hannah perfectly captured our inaugural Richmond Ren Faire, from the highs to the challenges. It was a hot Saturday and a cold Sunday, with a few hiccups along the way, but ultimately a beautiful celebration of Richmond and our incredible community of artists, makers, and dreamers.

This event has already inspired more people to come together, grow, learn, and create, and we can’t wait to continue building on it year after year. We are so grateful for this community and for the support behind the scenes that made it all possible.

We may be crying while we post this :-)

Get in, babe, we're going to the Richmond Renaissance Faire! Here's a recap of my experience at the very first RVA Ren Faire at Dorey Park. We had some class...

These last two weeks have been filled with reflection and recovery after the big weekend. We are incredibly appreciative to everyone who showed up and supported the inaugural Richmond Ren Faire through the heat and rain. This event was meant to be a collaborative effort that served as a platform to uplift our local community. The support we have seen not only helps fuel mission, but all of those individual artists, makers, and organizations as well.

This event was one for the books and it would not have been possible without the support from our generous sponsors, donors, and people like you! Thank you to everyone who has contributed to this project. We are grateful to have sponsors who understand and align with the mission of this work. These are groups that are serving the greater Richmond community and beyond with a similar level of dedication to uplifting local voices.

We look forward to growing alongside this community in years to come ⚔️
