Welcome to the 2nd annual Madras Mayfaire! A renaissance festival with a fun fantasy twist.

This magical market is back and preparing to be better than ever, with expended shopping and eating opportunities, more entertainment, and an extra epic theme: Pirates vs Fairies! This is going to be the fantasy event of the season, so mark your calendar to make sure you don't miss out! Especially if you love costume contests, axe throwing, medieval trivia...and so much more!


We are still accepting vendor and food truck applications, as well as looking for volunteers! Please contact the event coordinator at novaleesuperstar@gmail.com with any questions or interest!
