THE SHEDIAC MASCARADE · 28 TO 30 MAY 2027
An invitation to three days in which nobody is quite who they say.
The sale opened on the morning of Thursday the twenty-ninth of October 2026, at ten, Atlantic time, and tickets are on sale now.
Weekend and day tickets went on sale together, and the earliest ones carry super early bird prices.
What a ticket includes
Weekend ticket. Saturday and Sunday on the Neptune Drive-In grounds: entry to the festival grounds on both days, access to the artisan market, all scheduled performances and demonstrations, the Masked Ball on Saturday evening, and the Sand Follies, our Friday evening social at Parlee Beach.
VIP weekend ticket. The same, for guests 19 and over, with a place at the Saturday supper.
3-Festival Passport. All three festivals: the Mascarade in May, the Shediac Renaissance Faire in August, and Afterland in October. It is sold in one place only, the Shediac Renaissance Faire’s ticket page.
Friday evening at Parlee Beach is included with every ticket. The Sand Follies is a casual, outdoor gathering with food, drink, music, and a chance to meet fellow guests before the festival opens on Saturday.
The murder mystery is a 19+ event that runs all weekend. The rest of the festival is for everyone.
