For fans of ren faires, fantasy markets, live music, theatre, glowing art, whimsical vendors, and storybook worlds after dark.

If you are searching for a ren faire in Ontario, a renaissance faire-inspired event, or a fantasy festival that brings storybook worlds to life, Enchanta was made for you.

Enchanta is not a traditional medieval faire — and that is exactly what makes it different.

Instead of focusing on one historical period, Enchanta lives in the inbetween: a place where fantasy, fairytales, glowing art, live music, theatre, magic, whimsical vendors, food, costumes, and imagination all come together after dark.

It is part festival, part theatre, part night market, part concert, and part fairytale.

Not just a vendor market.
Not just a concert.
Not just a faire.

Welcome to the in-between.

What is Enchanta?

Enchanta is Ontario’s after-dark fantasy festival, with event worlds in Fergus-Elora and Toronto.

Created for families, date nights, friend groups, fantasy lovers, and anyone who wants to step into a real-life fairytale after dark, Enchanta is an experience made to be explored.

Guests are invited to wander, watch, shop, listen, dress up, take photos, enjoy food, discover performances, and meet unexpected magical moments throughout the night.

If you love the creativity of a ren faire, the atmosphere of a fantasy market, the energy of live music, and the wonder of immersive theatre, Enchanta brings those worlds together in one unforgettable night.

Is Enchanta a Renaissance Faire?

Enchanta is not a traditional renaissance faire.

A traditional renaissance faire usually centres around a specific medieval or Renaissance-inspired time period, with historical costumes, themed performances, old-world market experiences, and period-inspired entertainment.

Enchanta is different.

Our world is not tied to one era. It is built from fantasy, storybook design, glowing art, live performance, music, theatre, magic, vendors, characters, and dreamlike spaces that come alive after dark.

So while Enchanta is a beautiful fit for guests who love ren faires, medieval festivals, fantasy events, costumes, and artisan markets, it is not limited to one category.

It is a fantasy festival for people who want something magical, creative, theatrical, and unexpected.
