“Ren Faire 2023”

Ren Faire 2023 is a component of the Tooele County Arts Guild (TCAG) and is organized, and funded by TCAG. Volunteers contribute their time and talents to the guild, a non-profit organization that supports artisans in their creative endeavors by offering educational and artistic opportunities like Ren Faire 2023. The Faire is a magical place for artisans to gather to sell their craft and network with other creators. It’s a place of whimsy for spectators to enjoy art, entertainment, and Ren Faire flair!
