Ren in the Glen
A Medieval Fantasy Faire in Glenwood, Wisconsin
St. Croix County
Important announcement from Ren in the Glen!
We will not be presenting Ren in the Glen in 2026 in order to undertake a major erosion control project in the Glen.
We will return in 2027!
Flooding and erosion has been a problem at the far end of the Glen for years, and we have received a grant from the US Department of Agriculture in conjunction with the Wisconsin DNR and the National Resources Conservation Service to address the issue this year.
Unfortunately, the project will take all summer to complete, preventing us from holding the faire this season.
All vendors, performers and volunteers, including applicants, are being contacted directly via email.
If you have any questions, please contact us directly through our Contact Page, or if you are a participant, please email your coordinator.
Thank you, and see you in '27!

Enter our Enchanted World...
Small in size — huge in fun!!!
Affordable, accessible, and enjoyable! This is a small, intimate faire that's more like a party you've been invited to.
Founded in 1311 2011, Ren in the Glen is a wondrous festival held in an enchanted glen near the fabled town of Thornberry, where you'll encounter knights in combat, fairies flitting about, dancers whirling in a blur of colors, the scents of rare and exotic goods, the sizzle of a feast cooking on the fire, and the songs of minstrels and bards floating upon the breeze.
Come join us for a weekend of family-friendly adventure in our enchanted world! Ren in the Glen is located midway between St. Paul, Minnesota and Eau Claire, Wisconsin, not far north of the city of Menomonie.
