The Festival is a medieval amusement park, a 14-stage theater, a 30-acre circus, an arts-and-crafts fair, a jousting tournament, and a feast — all rolled into one non-stop, day-long adventure. You never know what you will find on or off the stage! Mingle with over 2,000 costumed characters, eat a giant roasted turkey leg; take part in games of chance and skill; cheer on your favorite knight; Shop in over 200 artisan shops and select an inimitable gift for that special someone; there is so much to see and do. The Arizona Renaissance Festival is open Saturdays and Sundays Feb. 8 – Mar. 29 and Presidents’ Day Monday, Feb. 17. Just East of Apache Junction, on U.S. Highway 60!
