Kingdom Faire Returns! Finds Permanent Home in Putnam Valley
Putnam Valley, NY – Kingdom Faire, the beloved Renaissance festival with a theatrical twist, is officially returning to its roots in Putnam Valley, NY! After a season in Huguenot, Kingdom Faire has found its permanent home at Camp Combe (684 Peekskill Hollow Rd, Putnam Valley, NY), where it will continue to bring fantasy, adventure, and family-friendly fun to the region.
The third season of Kingdom Faire will kick off on May 31, 2025, and run each weekend through June 8, from 10 AM to 6 PM. This unique festival features an immersive, interactive experience where guests can witness “The Pirate Queen”, a five-act musical performed throughout the day, blending Renaissance revelry with epic storytelling.
In addition to thrilling performances, Kingdom Faire will host over 40 artisan vendors, showcasing handcrafted goods, period-inspired wares, and delectable treats. Vendor applications are currently open and interested parties can apply here: https://kingdomfaire.com/

“We are so excited to bring Kingdom Faire back to Putnam Valley, where it all began,” said Christopher Francia, President of Kingdom Faire. “With Camp Combe as our new permanent home, we have the perfect setting to grow, expand, and continue delivering a one-of-a-kind experience for our guests.”
