Festival is an outdoor, open air 16th century European style art and entertainment festival combining outdoor theater, circus entertainment, arts and crafts marketplace, a jousting tournament, a feast fit for royalty, and much much more. The Carolina Renaissance Festival was introduced in 1994 with six acres of exhibits, attractions and entertainment. The event has grown into a 25 acre theme park filled with charming cottages and castles, kitchens and pubs, and a most unusual collection of people powered rides and games of skill. The Carolina event has grown to be one of the largest of the Renaissance fairs nationwide. Tree lined lanes are filled with over 140 purveyors of crafts and food, and non-stop music and comedy shows are presented on 16 stages every event day. This is one of the most interactive entertainment shows ever created with wonderful amusements and antics ongoing all around you! You can sit back and watch, or you can become a part of the action, surrounded by over 500 costumed characters roaming the festival village. The village lanes are full of peasants singing sea-faring songs and street entertainers surprising you with tall tales and tricks, each with a role to play. You can experience the clashing of armor and the thundering of hooves daily with full combat jousts at the Queen's Tournament Arena.

A trip to the RenFest is an escape to a realm where history comes alive, where brave knights and jesters roam, and where every corner holds a tale of discovery. A place to experience a blend of past and present. A place to honor the human spirit of courage, innovation, and freedom that resonates throughout the ages. The Renaissance era was a time of artistic and intellectual revolution, much like the bold ideas that sparked the journey towards America's independence. ~~ Wishing you and yours a happy and safe 4th of July holiday! ~~ 🥳
