The world’s original Renaissance Pleasure Faire, located just ten minutes east of Pasadena at the Santa Fe Dam Recreation Area in Irwindale, CA welcomes all.

Escape from the realities of the 21st Century in favor of a carefree, inclusive, and fun visit to the Renaissance Pleasure Faire! Elizabeth I reigns at this sixteenth-century town where guests are immersed in the era through music, language, artisans, merchants, feast-worthy fare, and hundreds of performers including jousting knights, saucy wenches, jesters, jugglers, regal ladies and the Queen and her Court!

The original Renaissance Pleasure Faire is the best production ever giving people a glimpse of how life was during that era. 

The company transforms a 25-acre area at the Santa Fe Dam Recreation area in Irwindale into a whole village sparing no details.

The construction of the town, the colorful decors, the elaborate costumes, the training of participants how to act and speak, the shows, the parades, the games, and the entertainment will take you back 500 years into history in Europe once you step through the front gates. You can escape the reality of daily modern life and have a great time for several hours with a nominal entry fee. Go and see how many of the guests dress up to the max to truly sink themselves into those times and have fun.

The large food court offers a huge variety of delicious eats such as tri-tip sandwiches, pork chops on a stick, fish n chips, baked oysters, pulled pork sliders, giant turkey legs, gyro sandwiches, burgers, spicy sausage with sauerkraut, cajun dirty rice with sausage, a large variety of desserts, ice creams, juices, drinks, beer and wine.

Check it out and see how people lived, worked, and had fun 500 years ago.
