As with anything faires are cyclic and we see A LOT of ups and downs.
Here are some faires that have been officially closed or have no website/news. Most of this is from nerennies.net:
Festival of the Lion (no news and website is down and gone)
Somers Renaissance Faire
May happen but in a new place/owners
Maine Renaissance Faire
Downeast Pirate Days
Not running this year but will be back next
Southern CT Renaissance Faire
Moved time
NH Renaissance Faire is in MAY rather than October
ISD Renaisance Faire is in OCTOBER rather than May
The Salem Pirate Faire is becoming The New England Pirate Faire and moving from SEPTEMBER to June
while i appreciate you tryin to keep the renn faire community aware, make sure o yer facts!
Hudson Vally Mayfaire is a go and we ( The Brigands) just signed contracts for the event.
Thank you for the correction, I'll remove it from the list
It looks like the Maine Renfaire and Downeast Pirate are not a go for this year. It is my hope that they are able to find sites next year
