Event summary

Highlights

Full-contact jousting by the Knights of Valour
Costumed characters including Vikings, pirates, and fairies
Medieval merchants and vendors

The King's Town Renaissance Faire transforms the historic Fort Henry, perched above Kingston's waterfront, into a medieval and fantasy realm for one weekend. A central attraction is the full-contact jousting, presented by the Knights of Valour, led by Shane Adams. Unlike typical choreographed performances, this jousting uses solid wooden lances, providing an intense athletic competition that draws large crowds.

Visitors can experience a wide range of entertainment, with Vikings, pirates, and fairies mingling alongside costumed attendees. The event encourages embracing medieval history and modern fantasy franchises alike. Organizers from Faires.ca, a company expanding Renaissance-themed events across Ontario, intended the Kingston fair to develop its own distinct identity.
