About the Festival
Spring Haven Farm is a family-owned farm and entertainment venue located in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, known for creating fun, interactive experiences that bring people together with animals, food, entertainment, and the outdoors.
Following the incredible success of our inaugural Renaissance Festival in the fall of 2025 and our second festival in the spring of 2026, we are thrilled to continue this growing tradition with the third Spring Haven Renaissance Festival, taking place November 14–15, 2026.
For one extraordinary weekend, Spring Haven Farm will be transformed into a lively Renaissance celebration filled with merriment, adventure, and entertainment for the entire family. From skilled fighters and live entertainment to axe throwing, archery, delicious turkey legs, hearty favorites, colorful characters, and plenty of surprises along the way, there is something to discover around every corner. Guests can explore a marketplace of over 50 local vendors and talented artisans with handcrafted treasures.
Spring Haven Farm Renaissance Festival is especially unique because it takes place on a real working farm. Throughout your visit, guests can meet, visit, and feed many of the animals that call Spring Haven Farm home. The animals are an important part of the experience and give families the opportunity to enjoy a hands-on farm visit while also taking in all the excitement of the festival.
Spring Haven Farm has become known for creating memorable seasonal events and interactive experiences where guests are encouraged to do more than simply watch. Whether you are feeding animals, exploring the farm, shopping from local makers, enjoying live entertainment, or taking part in festival activities, the goal is to make every visit feel like an experience rather than just an event.
The relaxed outdoor setting, friendly farm atmosphere, and close-up animal encounters create a Renaissance Festival that feels different from a traditional fair or large commercial festival. Guests can spend the day exploring at their own pace, enjoying the entertainment, visiting the animals, trying festival foods, strolling forest walk and making memories.
