What people are saying

​What people are saying about the Vermont Renaissance Faire and Vermont Gatherings events:

Picture
“The Vermont Renaissance Faire, Winter Faire and other events produced by Vermont Gatherings are among the best in the Northeast. As a creative business owner, I’m ecstatic that Jeff Folb and his dedicated crew are bringing these events to life. Vermont is full of amazing talent and creativity, and the Renaissance Faire is the perfect way to bring the historical, fantastic and quirky side of the arts to the public[…]I’m happy to have been part of the Faire since the beginning, and proud to continue as a sponsor.”

Vermont Gatherings named the 2023 SBA Microenterprise of the Year for Vermont​ and New England

Picture
Vermont Gatherings was recognized by the U.S. Small Business Administration as the 2023 SBA Microenterprise of the Year for Vermont, as well as the 2023 SBA Microenterprise of the Year for New England. This is a huge honor and we are truly grateful for this recognition.

"We get a lot of nominees, but what made yours stand out is the “cool” factor," said Daniel Monahan, Public Information Officer at the Vermont District Office of the U.S. Small Business Administration. "Most of the entries/nominees in this category are small shops, such as landscaping or working hobby farm. Not a business that hosts renaissance and steampunk fairs. You also won the New England award as well. So you also beat out five other state winners. Good for you."

We send our congratulations to these 2023 SBA award winning businesses:

- Parro's Gun Shop in Waterbury is the Veteran-Owned Business of the Year

- Keene Perspectives in Hartford are the Vermont Small Business Persons of the Year

- Advanced Conversion in Barre is the Exporter of the Year

- Junapr in Charlotte is the Woman-Owned Business of the Year

- Boston Tailoring & Cleaners in St. Albans is the Family-Owned Business of the Year

- CQ Strategies in Burlington is the Minority-Owned Business of the Year

- Lex Osler of QOR 360 in Burlington is the Young Entrepreneur of the Year

- Vermont Gatherings in Essex Junction is the Microenterprise of the Year

The 2023 Vermont Small Business Awards Ceremony co-hosted with VermontBiz is slated for June 15. The ceremony is open to the public and registration will be available in May.​

​A fairytale Winter Faire

Soleil Devyn Borthwick, Staff Reporter | March 12, 2020

A woman picked up a sword from a table. Its hilt was wrapped in green felt and decorated with copper wire. The colors went well with the dress and corset the woman was wearing. The blade was slim and short, barely from her fingertip to her elbow. As she handled it, a smile spread across her face.
“Husband!” she cried out, “Come buy me a sword!”
