Step into a World of Magic at the Celtic Winter Faire: A Renaissance Festival Like No Other!

Palm Beach County, FL — The Celtic Winter Faire returns to John Prince Park on December 5-6, December 12–13 and 19–20, 2026, inviting guests to step through the portal and into a Renaissance Faire–style celebration of Celtic folklore, food, and holiday cheer. Join this beloved local tradition filled with live music, artisans, and immersive entertainment.

Visitors will cheer during the World Famous Gnome Race, laugh at the spirited Horseless Joust, and be captivated by falconry demonstrations that showcase these magnificent birds up close. Returning favorites include dazzling belly dancers, enchanting mermaids, and the Reelin Rogues.

Across the village, families can explore two lively taverns serving ale and hearty fare (including turkey legs!), join free sword classes, take aim at the free traditional archery range, and enjoy free watercolor classes. Metalwork comes to life with both blacksmithing demonstrations and free guest “have-a-go” sessions where visitors can safely try their hand at the anvil. Between shows and shopping, don’t miss Nicholas of the Whispering Pines, the island’s own Santa Claus, for free visits and photos. Brave visitors may even encounter Krampus and Mari Lwyd representing Germanic and Welsh holiday traditions.

“The Celtic Winter Faire has always been built around the feeling of stepping through a portal into another world,” said Ben Kerr, Event Director of Fae Festivals. “This year, that portal is opening wider. Expanding to three weekends gives guests more time to explore, return, and experience the Faire in a deeper way.”
