Willow Spring Apothecary is venturing into the realm of the New River Valley Renaissance Festival this Halloween. 🌿✨
Set against the beautiful mountain views of Beliveau Farm Winery, NRV Ren Fest is a fantasy-filled weekend of music, performers, food, wine, historical demonstrations, interactive characters, costumes, and a carefully curated marketplace of fantasy-inspired vendors.
And honestly... an old-world apothecary surrounded by fae, witches, adventurers, and wandering royals feels exactly where Willow should be.
⚔️ A Weekend of Fantasy & Adventure
Throughout the festival, guests can explore the grounds while encountering interactive cast members, live musicians, entertainers, historical reenactors, and other surprises along the way.
You may find yourself receiving a quest from a mysterious stranger, visiting the royal court, listening to Celtic-inspired music, watching historical combat demonstrations, or simply wandering the marketplace with a glass of wine in hand.
Costumes are absolutely welcome, too. The festival will feature costume contests both days — including a Halloween-themed contest on Saturday and a Renaissance Festival costume contest on Sunday.
🌿 Visit the Willow Spring Apothecary Booth
I'll be bringing the apothecary along for the adventure with a selection of Willow favorites, including:
Botanical skincare • Artisan soaps • Hand creams & lotions • Beard oils • Ritual goods • Apothecary treasures
If you've been wanting to smell Willow's fragrances in person, explore the different rituals, or simply wander into my little woodland apothecary for a while, come find me in the vendor marketplace.
I have a feeling this is going to be one of those events where Willow feels very much at home. 🌙
