Kerrville Renaissance Festival returns for two weekends

To celebrate its six year, the Kerrville Renaissance Festival will present one of its largest entertainment lineups ever, as popular acts return over two full weekends of Renaissance-style fun, entertainment, food, crafts, and games on January 28-29-30 and February 5-6,

The event is held at the River Star Arts and Events Park, on the grounds of the Hill Country Youth Event Center in Kerrville. Hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day.

“There is so much entertainment, I do not know where I'm going to put them all!” said April Cory, event organizer with her husband, Hal Robinson. “But we will manage it, and we look forward to seeing all of our guests return to experience all the fun.”

The Kerrville Renaissance Festival recreates a medieval marketplace, where guests are encouraged to dress in costume and join the merriment that will include strolling musicians, magicians, jugglers, and storytellers.

Guests will be able to shop at the Renaissance Festival Marketplace, with more than 30 shops offering handmade crafts such as wooden toys, leather accessories, clothing, hats, glassware, jewelry, and gifts. The Food Court returns to the main pavilion, offering funnel cake, cinnamon-roasted nuts, chocolate-covered cheesecake, fresh donuts, turkey legs, kettle corn, jerky, deep-fried caramel apple, deep-fried Oreos, and deep-fried pecan pie. This season guests will also be able to enjoy craft beer, wine, and mead.

Admission fees are Adult $14.95; Children 5-12 $9.95; Age 4 and Under Free. Free parking is available on site.
