Two weekends in 2026! Join us on
June 13-14 and June 20-21

Join us for two weekends of music, magic, and wonder at the annual New York Capital District Renaissance Festival. The two-weekend event, set in the bucolic fields and orchards of Indian Ladder Farms in Altamont, NY, has a little bit of fun for everyone.

Enjoy craft beer and cider? Add a pub crawl to your experience and be entertained by charming and hilarious guides as you sample different brews from Indian Ladder Cidery and Brewery in a hand-made collectible mug.

The crawl walks you through the brewing process whose ingredients are all grown and brewed less than a mile from where they are poured.

Don’t forget to eat! There are so many options for great food during your visit.

Can I bring a dog? – Yes! Can I buy tickets at the door? Yes!
