Time Travelers Weekend
Warp speed ahead!
Attention all time travelers! Join us for a weekend of geeky adventures at the Connecticut Renaissance Faire. Show off your favorite cosplay and meet other time travelers from different eras. If you choose to “come as you are,” it’s an opportunity to see impressive talent and creativity.
Saturday
Galactic Costume Contest: Whether you’re beaming in from the outer rim, stepping out of a time portal, or fresh from a parallel dimension, you’re invited to show off your interstellar style. Dress as your favorite character from science fiction, fantasy, or the far-flung future and compete for glory in our Galactic Costume Contest.
Aliens, androids, space wizards, starship captains—all species and timelines welcome.
Sunday
Doctor Who Cosplay Costume Contest: If you have a favorite Doctor Cosplay, now is your chance to show it off. Come dressed as your ideal Doctor, Companion, or other characters from one of our favorite shows.
Whovian Photo Ops: Immediately after the cosplay costume contest, join us at the TARDIS for a group photoshoot of all our Whovian friends.
Monday
Heroes & Villains Sci-Fi Costume Contest: Suit up as your favorite sci-fi hero, notorious villain, or original character from the far reaches of space and time. Whether you’re wielding a plasma blade, commanding a starship, or plotting in a moon base lair, this is your moment to step into the spotlight.
Will you fight for the light… or rule in the shadows?
Meet the Author: Each day of our show, we schedule a new up-and-coming fantasy author. Buy a book, get it signed, join their fan club, and grab a selfie to show you were there. See who the author is for a given day in the Guests Merchants section of our Shops page.
Contest Info: All contests occur on the Sovereign Stage at 2:45 pm. Unless otherwise mentioned, the Faire includes these events with your same-day admission. If you are planning to enter a contest, please arrive 10-15 minutes before starting. At the discretion of the contest host, some events may choose to limit the number of participants in a particular contest due to time restrictions.
