Workshops Start Saturday, August 23, 2014
There are several ways to get involved at the Northern California Renaissance Faire. Naturally being a ticket bearing patron is the easiest way to participate in the fun. Patrons are welcome and encouraged to dress in Renaissance style costuming to enhance their experience, but this is certainly not required.
 
Aside from being a Patron, the options for participating at the Northern California Renaissance include becoming a stage or street performer with our Entertainment Department, working in a booth with our Marketplace, or Volunteering for various jobs throughout the faire. Occasionally there are some positions available within Beverage, staff or production.

Want to be a part of the faire? Take a look at the participation section of our website. Workshops begin Saturday, August 23, 2014 at 9:00am at the Royal Garden Stage on the faire site.

The Northern California Renaissance Faire will be overjoyed to welcome you on any day of its five weekend run, but maybe that's not enough for you.

Our participant registration day is Saturday, August 23rd, 2014 at 9:00am at the faire site. For more information tune into our podcast or visit www.norcalrenfaire.com/participation.
