King Richard's Faire

The Faire was founded in 1982 by the late Richard Shapiro and his wife Bonnie, who ran the original "King Richard's Faire" in Bristol, Wisconsin (which was renamed Bristol Renaissance Faire when the Shapiros sold it to Renaissance Entertainment Corporation in 1988). Today, Bonnie and her daughter Aimée Shapiro Sedley produce the show. King Richard's Faire is the largest and longest-running Renaissance Faire in New England. The 40th anniversary season ran weekends and Monday holidays from September 4th through October 24th, 2021. Performers have included social media personality and Guinness World Record holder Jack Lepiarz (who set his first world record at the Faire). In March of 2025, it was announced by new owners Lancelot Entertainment Boston, LLC that King Richard's Faire will relocate to the nearby Edaville Railroad. ==Details==
