Shire at the Grove - Ren Faire, Market, Books, TT Games & Festival

Market, gaming, books, fantasy, costumes, and revelry at the historic Locust Grove Estate.

Shire at the Grove is a celebration of community, craft, and whimsy. Explore an artisan market, watch and take part in craft demonstrations, roam the gardens, meet featured authors for book signings, get a tarot reading, and enjoy live music from a wandering bard beneath the trees. Locust Grove's fairy houses will be scattered along their many wandering trails for you to find.

Don your finest attire, and perhaps you’ll even win the costume contest. Professional photographers are available to capture you and your adventuring party.

Dive into our Magic: The Gathering Draft in collaboration with Mana Potion, or join our beginner-friendly tabletop quests like Dungeons & Dragons for an immersive one-shot experience and a chance to meet new people. * Ticket add-ons for these experiences are available at checkout and must be purchased in advance.

There will be a food vendor available to satisfy your hunger. Bring a picnic blanket to enjoy the gardens outside!

We are excited to include people with unique needs and aim to provide accessibility throughout all areas of the event. Suitable for all ages, under 16 free.

You are invited to a day of revelry, where every corner of the grove holds a new path to explore.

Vendor, Author & Workshop list coming soon. Event is Rain or Shine.

Fantasy / Renaissance-themed, attire encouraged!

Hosted in Collaboration with Ink and Wildflower and Meadow and Muse.
