The Realm Is Awakening in the Borderlands (Updates)

We’ve had an incredible start bringing the Borderlands Renaissance Faire to life!

Mike and Patricia recently welcomed us onto Second Cup at KTSM to share more about the vision for our inaugural year. Be sure to check out the video on the ktsm website.

We were also honored to be featured by KFOX following our official announcement, and since then, several local influencers and community pages have helped spread the word. Thanks to your support, we’ve seen thousands of shares, comments, and re-shares

Vendor applications are coming in fast! We have already exceeded our initial projections for this period of planning. If you’ve been considering applying, now is the time. We are actively reviewing submissions with a focus on quality, thematic fit, and variety, and we encourage any vendor with Renaissance, fantasy, or immersive offerings to apply while space remains.

We are also continuing to review performer applications and would love to hear from:

• Interactive entertainers

• Musicians and stage performers

• Living history demonstrators

• Storytellers and wandering characters

We are also actively recruiting:

• Interactive booths and games

• Roleplayers and in‑character NPCs

• Guilds, encampments, and themed groups

• Hands‑on experiences for guests of all ages

The outpouring of support we’ve received so far has been incredible. Every share, every conversation, and every application helps build something truly special! Our goal is not just to make this an event for this year but making this a lasting tradition in El Paso for years to come. Thank you all for your support!
