At the Georgia Renaissance Festival, you’ll find A Whole Lotta Fun…And a Little Bit of History! The Festival runs 8 weekends from April 13th through June 2nd on Saturdays, Sundays and Memorial Day Monday. Each weekend features something uniquely special to enhance the enjoyment of all who enter the gates of this 32-acre English Village stepping back in time to the 16th Century.
The Front Gate Castle was built with a large balcony where the Queen perches high above the crowds welcoming over 200,000 people each year. Once inside the gates, patrons can feast like Royalty on giant smoked turkey legs, frothy ales and other fine fares from the pubs and eateries sprinkled around the Village. Entertainment for all ages is abundant with over 150 shows each day performed on 10 stages. Everything from circus-style acrobatics, comedy and improv, music, dance and the main event, The Joust – It’s a full day of endless entertainment for all ages.
The Village is home to over 150 arts and crafts merchants, demonstrating artisans providing one-of-a-kind treasures from Renaissance clothing, hand-blown glass art, jewelry, pottery, paintings, weaving, leather-crafting, stained glass artistry and more. This Renaissance art fair is a shop ‘til you drop collectors dream.
