Shediac Renaissance Faire long lines, disorganization made festival not worth returning to, some attendees say
Attendees of the Shediac Renaissance Faire expressed frustration over long wait times, poor organization, and ticketing issues. Organizers attributed the delays to scam-related complications and have expressed a desire to improve the event for next year.
Why it matters
The incident serves as a case study in event management challenges and the impact of social media feedback on local festival reputations.
"It was really exciting that something was going to be close that I could go and dress up and be nerdy at," said Goguen, who is from Riverview and has been to comic and anime conventions in the past.
But Goguen's experience wasn't what she expected, and her experience is one of many that have been posted to social media platforms, such as Facebook and Reddit.
The Shediac Renaissance Faire was billed as a two-day festival where guests could dress up and attend medieval events. It was at the Neptune Drive-in and hosted by Shediac Wonderland.
