Come, travel back in time as you step into the beautifully wooded, 16th century village, we call Petit Lyon! Immerse yourself in the costumes and mannerisms of the era. Thrill to the exploits of Jousting Knights on thundering steeds. Roam the village shops for unique crafts and goods as our artisans demonstrate period skills. Delight in comedy, music and feats of derring do. Feast on delicious food and drink while strolling minstrels entertain. Interact with the colorful villagers, nobles, peasants and personalities of ages past
Petit Lyon is privileged to host some of the finest crafters and artisans in the realm! You will find a wide variety of handcrafted treasures as well as unique items brought from the far corners of the world to entice and delight. Our merchants offer a delightful selection of period-inspired wares for your perusal and games, services, and foods for your enjoyment. Visitors can watch some of the crafts in progress as the artisans demonstrate their talents.
Thirty acts will be performing on nine stages through the four-week run of faire, including returning Faire favorites like the Elvendrums and 3 Pints Gone. You'll see swordfighting and juggling, and hear music and laughter around every corner! A costumed cast has re-created a French village of the year 1523 during the reign of Francois I, and you'll be able to see and interact with everyone from peasant to noble courtier.
Children will enjoy the petting zoo and games in the Kid's Kingdom. The King's Quest lets our young visitors earn a special audience with the King and Queen.
