Get ready, Get set Art Fans! The pirates are coming! It's Pirates Weekend at the Pittsburgh Renaissance Festival this weekend! Hide your treasure and prepare for invasion! Maybe trade your treasure for some nifty charcoal art! (see what I did there... ;) ) Let's have adventure at the Faire!

HEAR YE, HEAR YE, GOOD GENTLES!

We offer our most hearty thanks unto all who didst journey forth and spend three wondrous days with us here in Morelandshire, as we celebrated our grand Children’s Weekend!

How magical ’twas to hear the laughter of young lads and lasses ringing merrily throughout the lanes!

But now...

The lanes lie quiet once more.

The merchants busily replenish their wares.

The villagers rest and ready themselves for what cometh next...

Yet... hark!

What sound be that upon the horizon?

CANNON FIRE?!

By the Crown...

THE PIRATES BE COMING!!!

Make ready, good gentles, for PIRATE INVASION WEEKEND, September 12th & 13th at the Pittsburgh Renaissance Festival!

Come ye forth for two glorious days filled with rousing tales and merry tunes of adventures upon the high seas, swashbuckling swordplay, roguish scoundrels, salty sea dogs, and revelry aplenty!

Mr. Caribbean Pirate Contest
Upon the Greek Stage
At half past two in the afternoon!

Pirate Treasure Hunt!
Gather ye at the Front Gate
At half past twelve!

So don thy finest pirate garb, gather thy crew, hoist thy colours, and make ready to invade the lanes of Morelandshire!

For the cannon hath sounded...

THE PIRATES BE UPON US!

“Drink up, me hearties, yo ho!”

Due to concerns over the weather forecast tomorrow and how it will affect the grounds, Management at the Pittsburgh Renaissance Festival has made the difficult decision to postpone opening this weekend in the interest of safety. Please be patient just one more week. The Faire will open next weekend with all the excitement and friends we have been counting down for!

It was a long day but I'm really excited to open Pittsburgh Renaissance Festival 2026 this weekend. My booth looks great this year and since my ladder privileges were revoked due to supposed "unsafe practices" (ppssshh whatever) I got the sign hung however I got the sign hung.
