Faire Location & MapQuest & Directions

We are East of where the 605 San Gabriel River Freeway and the 210 Foothill Freeway cross.

From the 210 freeway, east of the 605....

1. Exit the 210 at Irwindale and turn South
2. Go approx. 1 mile.
3. Turn Right onto Arrow Hwy (= West)
4. Go approx. .3 (3/10s) of 1 mile
5. Turn Right into the Santa Fe Dam Rec. Area park

Approaching the Faire from the 210 Freeway and using the Irwindale exit is the fastest and easiest way to get to the park since all the traffic measures in place are optimized for this route.

Our Faire is located at the Santa Fe Dam Recreation Area, which is at the Irwindale exit off the 210 Freeway, just east of where the 210 and 605 Freeways cross. There will be traffic control measures in place.

The actual street address of the Park and the Faire site (not Faire office!) is:
15501 E. Arrow Highway, Irwindale, Ca 91706.
Do not use for mailing, as it is the Park's own address!

Access and Parking

Santa Fe Dam Recreational Area charges an $8.00 entry fee per visit.

Santa Fe Dam retains all fees for access.

The Renaissance Pleasure Faire has no control over access pricing.

A Park attendant will collect your access fee.

General Parking

There is no additional charge for that on top of what the Dam requires. General parking is estimated anywhere from 300 to 2500 feet away from the front gate.

Valet Parking

For Valet Service, once into the Santa Fe Dam Recreation Area heading towards the faire, stay in the right lane to utilize the Valet Service.

The drop off and pick up point will be about 100 feet from the front gate.

A Valet attendant will meet you, give you a claim ticket and park your car. When you return, after having had a fun and exciting day at the faire, you will give your claim ticket back to an attendant and your car will be brought around.

If you wish to use this Valet service to park your vehicle, you will need to pay the $8.00 Park entrance fee and then the $10 Valet Service at the faire.

Limited valet space available but it's available every Saturday and Sunday, for the entire run.

Valet service can only be purchased at the Faire, on day of arrival.
