A hidden corner of the Santa Fe Renaissance Festival

A village between worlds.

Follow the lanterns, mind the tiny doors, and meet the curious folk who call Faire Fae home. Wonder is closer than it looks.

Encounters along the way

Not every villager is the same size.

Some tend flowers. Some trade stories. Some may be disguised as very ordinary shrubs. Take your time and look closely.

The village guide

Our illustrated village map is still being drawn by hand. Until it arrives, this temporary guide marks the kinds of places you may discover.

The trail is part of the portal.

How to enter a fairy village

Faire Fae is an encounter, not a display. Wander slowly. Notice the small things. Let the village folk decide when they are ready to be found.

“The best discoveries usually happen just off the path.”
