King Richard’s Faire returns to Carver for libations and merriment

Make haste to this year’s faire.

A crowd gathers at the entrance gate to King Richard's Faire which resembles a thatched roof cottage.

Parking is free, but the entrance fee will run you $20-$43, depending on the day.

The merriment
