Welcome to the 2027 Frederick Fantasy Festival!

Prepare your party for a full, two-day immersive experience on June 12–13, 2027, located at the Frederick Fairgrounds.

In 2026, our inaugural fantasy market was a runaway success, welcoming over 1,600 ticketed adventurers (plus their little companions!) for an unforgettable day of magic, wares, and community. We were absolutely blown away by the incredible enthusiasm and creativity of everyone who attended. Thanks to your overwhelming support, we are officially leveling up.

We are expanding our footprint to host a weekend of quests, crafts, and celebration. Utilizing the fairgrounds' 13, 14, 14a buildings,we will be open rain or shine!

Explore the Three Realms

Whether you are a brave knight, a wandering spellcaster, or a scoundrel looking for a quick coin, there is a place for you here. Navigate our sprawling festival and discover:

• The Great Tavern & Bardic Stage: Pull up a chair, grab a pint from tone of our beverage vendors, and enjoy stage acts in our massive tavern hall.

• The Main Fantasy Bazaar: Browse fantasy vendors, listen to acoustic minstrels, play one of our one-shot D&D tables and visit our Central Quest Hub.

• Rogue’s Den: Follow the sea shanties to building 13, where you can test your luck at interactive tavern games, engage with rogues, and join in on hands-on crafting at our central maker tables.

An Interactive Adventure

The Frederick Fantasy Festival is more than a market; it is a living, breathing world. Embark on our multi-building "Three Realms" Quest Passport, interact with our roaming NPCs, or test your wits in two exclusive "Micro-Escape" rooms.

Grab your garb, gather your party, and we will see you at the fairgrounds!
