Fall Fling

The market is alive, the taverns are singing, and Nottingham has gathered to make merry.

The Sheriff wants control, credit, and coin. Robin Hood would rather see you enjoy yourself.

Their rivalry plays out through questionable taxes, ridiculous rules, public challenges, and plenty of mischief — but guests never need to follow a plot to take part.

This fall, the full Georgia Renaissance Festival village comes alive with seven festival days across six themed weekends, live jousting, entertainment, 160+ artisan shoppes, 300+ sips and bites, games, and a season-long rivalry between Robin Hood and the Sheriff of Nottingham.

From remembrance and forest magic to tournaments, holiday shopping, and Yuletide warmth, every weekend gives Nottingham a different reason to revel. 

This year's themed weekends include:

• Hallowtide
• Harvest of the Old Gods
• Feast of Fools
• Tournament of Champions
• Royal Market Days
• Yuletide

The tournament field comes alive three times throughout the day as knights compete for honor inside the world of Nottingham. Robin Hood and the Sheriff bring their rivalry to the tournament field while the joust delivers horses, lances, combat, and spectacle throughout the Fall Fling day. Fall Fling is its own season — cooler days, autumn light, Nottingham story, themed weekends, harvest flavors, and a village that changes as daylight gives way to evening.
