Merry Macabre: Closing Weekend at The Connecticut Renaissance Faire

The season ends the right way. Merry Macabre is the final weekend of the year, when Halloween refuses to fade and winter is just beginning to make its presence felt. The village leans into the in-between: macabre smiles, theatrical darkness, and costumes that blur the line between fright and cheer.

Somewhere in the lanes, the Pumpkin King is keeping watch over all of it.

Closing weekends have their own quality. Everything feels a little sharper when there's a date on it. If there are performances you haven't caught, artisan stalls you keep walking past, or a frothy mug you haven't yet tried, this is the weekend to fix that.

The gates close at 6:00 PM on Sunday, October 25. Come in your finest macabre attire or come as you are. Make the most of it.
