Renaissance Faires are held in woods and fields where phone signal goes to die. Event Compass: Realm is built for exactly that: everything the app does works with no connection at all.

THE LIVING MAP
Every Charted Faire gets a hand-drawn parchment map with every shoppe, stage, tavern, and privy pinned as close to its real spot as we can chart it. The map opens on the landmarks so you can get your bearings, then reveals full detail as you zoom. Filter by artisans, food, drink, stages, rides, and games, or search the directory by name and let the map fly you to the booth. The maps are in beta and keep improving through 2027.

THE SCHEDULE, WITH BELLS ON
The stage schedule as the faire posts it, every stage and every show in time order. Tap the bell on a show and your phone rings you 15 or 30 minutes before curtain. The alarm is scheduled on the device itself, so it fires in a dead zone.

MY POUCH
Your "come back for this" list. Save the shoppe with the mug, the leatherworker two lanes over, the show you promised to catch. The pouch lives only on your phone; there is no account and nobody else can see it.

MERCHANT'S ROW
Who sells what, the whole faire through. Search "bodice" or "dice" or "mead" and get every merchant that carries it. A shop's wares show once the vendor has added them.

THE HERALD
A welcome page, with dates, faire-day weather, and mark-thy-carriage right on the opening page.

THE BAZAAR
Merchants from every faire in one directory, right on the faire picker. Search their wares, browse by category, see which faires each merchant works, and save favorites to My Pouch.

FIND ALMOST EVERY FAIRE
A hand-drawn map of the United States with nearly 600 Faires on it. Charted Faires open in full; for the rest you get dates, address, website, and a vote button that genuinely steers what we chart next.

HONEST BY DESIGN
No patron accounts. No third-party ads. No tracking. Location is used once, on your device, to open the faire you are standing at. Menus and wares are display-only: every purchase happens at the booth, face to face with the artisan. Everything in the app is free at every faire: the full map, show reminders, the pouch, the season archive, Merchant's Row, The Bazaar, and faire weather. Nothing is for sale in the app.

Event Compass is an independent, unofficial companion made by people who love Faires. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by any faire unless expressly stated.
