Come one, come all, dressed in your finest Renaissance attire for a whimsical day of family-friendly fun, laughter, and community spirit! The Renaissance Faire promises to transport attendees back in time with enchanting experiences that celebrate the charm of a bygone era.
Be immersed in a world of noble knights, merry maidens, and curious commoners, all gathered to support a meaningful cause. From the moment of arrival, guests will be greeted with the sights, sounds, and festivities reminiscent of the Renaissance period.
Join the North South Brewing Company on Sept. 20 as they raise funds to support Fox, a vibrant adult on the autism spectrum, in his inspiring journey toward independent living through the construction of a Tiny Home. Diagnosed with Autism at the age of 2, Fox has always dreamed of having a space to call his own.
As he aged out of youth services, the need for obtainable, affordable, and adaptive housing became apparent. Group Homes in North Carolina have an average wait time of over a year and can be costly. Building this tiny home will provide Fox with the independence, responsibilities, and personal space he desires, ensuring a safe and supportive environment.
Prepare for a full day of magical merriment, including local artisan vendors, whimsical face painting, side-splitting comedy acts, and exciting raffle prizes. This event is designed to entertain guests of all ages, making it a perfect outing for families and friends.
Performances by 910 Comedy will keep everyone laughing all day, culminating in live music from Andy Lame and Saoirsegrainne. With so many activities planned, there's something for everyone to enjoy while supporting a great cause.
Indulge in a variety of delectable foods from three food trucks: Bella Nonna (permanent food truck at North South Brewing), Yinzer’s (1 p.m. to 5 p.m.), and Boba & Bites (3 p.m. to 9 p.m.). Each vendor brings unique flavors to the table, ensuring a delightful culinary experience for all.
In addition to the mouthwatering food, explore the offerings of over ten local artisan vendors selling handmade goods, art, and more. It's a wonderful opportunity to support local businesses and find unique treasures.
Founded by James and Alicia Orlando, North South Brewing offers a wide variety of top-quality beers catering to diverse tastes, along with wine, ciders, seltzers, and non-alcoholic beverages. Their commitment to community and quality makes them an ideal partner in supporting Fox's journey.
For North South Brewing Company, this event is near and dear to their heart. As Alicia explains.
“North South Brewing is honored to host this event. We have been and will always be an accessible and inclusive environment for individuals on the spectrum and their families.”
She goes on to explain why the fundraiser adopted a Renaissance theme.
“We felt like the community was missing a ren faire type event, and Fox loves any excuse to dress up!”
Alicia hopes that the community will come out for a good time while raising money for a worthy cause.
“We would love for everyone to feel like they had a great time meeting other people in the community and find a new way to express themselves!”
