Renaissance Faire set to transport Grande Prairie Public Library

The Grande Prairie Public Library is taking a step back in time to the Renaissance at the end of August. 

The GPPL is set to host the Fables and Faeries Renaissance Faire on August 24th. The all-ages event will highlight a whimsical world inspired by folklore, fantasy, and the Renaissance era, with live sword-fighting demonstrations, hobby horse jousts, and embark on a building-wide Kingdom Quest Scavenger Hunt. There will also be an all-ages costume contest for those who want to dress in medieval or fantasy-inspired outfits. 

There will be a Crafters’ Croft in the Rotary Community Room and story time sessions in the Storytellers’ Shire, located in the Linda Smith Story Room, along with a market in the Teresa Sargent Hall with local vendors. 

The event will see a food truck fare, and Bandaged Paws will be on site hosting a pet adoption event. 

The Fables and Faeries Renaissance Faire will run from 10:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on the 24th in and around the Library.
