Mystic Realms® Fantasy Festival

Each year Mystic Realms® hosts its own Fantasy Faire to entertain people in South Jersey. This is an opportunity for Mystic Realms® participants to showcase their talents to friends and family. Mystic Realms® youth participants perform administrative tasks and acting roles under the supervision of our adult staff. The faire is an educational experience with the focus on developing leadership, acting and writing skills for our youth participants. We welcome community involvement and participation.

The Mystic Realms® Fantasy Faire offers a wide variety of educational shows, performances, crafts, and demonstrations. These generally include: historical groups from various medieval and renaissance periods, exhibitions on the use of medieval weapons and armor, blacksmith demonstrations, Middle-Eastern and other dancing troupes, a professionally-trained wrestling team in medieval regalia, groups of wandering minstrels, stage magicians, a Gypsy Village with children's crafts, and more.

The faire includes merchants and vendors offering a variety of unique products including jewelry, medieval and fantasy costumes, leather goods, and psychic readings. The gaming area has a pirate theme and offers games such as a beanbag toss for kids and ax/knife throwing for adults. Food and beverages are available for sale at the faire.

Mystic Realms® is known for its interactive theatrical entertainment, and the Fantasy Faire is no exception. Patrons will be encouraged to join in a fantasy adventure that will take them into the woods near the fairgrounds and allow them to become part of the faire story. Its very exciting and loads of fun for both adult and child. The adventure uses the Mystic Realms® LIVE-ACTION! roleplaying game system.

Mystic Realms® actors and musicians will perform shows and skits throughout the day. This includes a story that ends in a grand melee of swords and steel. A Maypole dance is performed and visitors will be asked to join. The day is concluded in a musical revelry where everyone is welcome to play an instrument and dance.

Are you interested in working at the Fantasy Faire next year? Read the following very carefully:

There are no paid positions available at Fantasy Faire.

Fantasy Faire is staffed by volunteers, who are working to have fun, to present their talents to the general public, and to support the game of Mystic Realms®.

If you're still interested, you should write to or join the Mystic Realms® bulletin boards.

Follow the instructions in the MR boards to register. You must use your real name (that is required) and a real e-mail address - but we don't use your e-mail address for anything but the automated registration notification. You can make your e-mail address explicitly available in your profile, if you wish.

After you've done that, post a note in the Public Fantasy Faire board so we know you're interested in working at the Faire.
