Emberwyn, a red-haired fairy with a glowing golden compass, flying in front of the GoRenFest shield

The trip planner

Meet Emberwyn

I'm the fairy on the crest, and in the app I keep the weekend from turning into a pile of half-remembered show times.

Three steps

How it works

  1. 1 Pick a faire
  2. 2 Plan your weekend
  3. 3 Huzzah!

What I will actually do

GoRenFest arrives in spring 2027. Then you can plan a weekend with me, built from what each faire actually publishes, not from rumors.

  • The itinerary. A day you can follow: which gate, which shows, and enough slack to get lost on purpose.
  • The schedule. Jousts, stage shows, and the rest of that day's list, so the falconry demo does not happen while you are in line for cider.
  • Food. What that faire says is on offer, including a note when dietary choices are thin. The menu still belongs to the vendors.
  • Lodging. Camping, RV sites, or hotels nearby, when the faire actually offers or points to them. If they are silent, I will be too.
  • Theme weekends. Pirate, fae, highland, a holiday, or whatever that weekend is calling itself, so the costume decision happens before the car does.

What I won't make up

Prices change. Bag rules change. Weapons rules belong to each faire, not to me. If I can't find something on our list or the faire's own site, I won't put it in your plan as if it's settled.

Until the app is out, the map and the first-timer FAQ are the best I can do from here.
