Here Ye, Here Ye! 5 Reasons to Visit the Arizona Renaissance Festival!
Come join the fun and immerse yourself in renaissance culture for a weekend at the Arizona Renaissance Festival!
A Testament of Time
The Arizona Renaissance Festival is a medieval amusement park, a 16-stage theater, a 50-acre village, an arts and crafts fair, a jousting tournament and a feast – all rolled into one non-stop, day-long family adventure!
This outdoor event combines entertainment and wares reminiscent of what may have been found in the 16th Century European village market.
When you walk through the gates at this festival, you will be transported back to a simpler, more jovial time. You’ll have the chance to mingle with over 2,000 costumed characters, eat a giant roasted turkey leg, take part in games of chance and skill, and explore the Village!
5 Reasons to Explore the Arizona Renaissance Festival
1. The Shows
Among the 50-acre village, there are 16 stages spread around the fairgrounds filled with comedy, swordplay, music, hijinks, dancers and more! There are multiple opportunities throughout the day to enjoy any number of these shows. Everywhere you turn, the festival cast is there to entertain you!
