The New World Renaissance Faire is the brainchild of Eric Stoveken (Fight Choreographer Extraordinaire and local Author) and Brian DiBonaventure (formerly the Artistic Director for The Midsummer Renaissance Faire and the Kutztown Renaissance Faire). Its the tale of an acting troupe looking for patronage, while trying to keep their crazy director and his weird ideas of a lost Shakespeare play from
ruining it. It is being held on the grounds of The Museum of Indian Culture on the beautiful Lehigh Parkway in Allentown, PA during ARTIFEST. 2825 Fish Hatchery Road to be exact. Just minutes from Rts 78, 22, 309 and 222. Artifest is a Multi-Cultural event being sponsored by the Museum of Indian Cultures. Its goal is to celebrate not only our diversity but the things we have in common in our community that brings us together. Featuring entertainment, vendors, and food from various cultures (Pennsylvania German, Latino, Indian, Ukrainian to name a few). We are proud to be a part of this event with our Renaissance Village and to support our friends at The Museum of Indian Culture. When is Artifest and The New World Renaissance Faire?
