The 2013 Arizona Renaissance Festival

The Arizona Renaissance Festival has been a tradition for over two and a half decades.

The AZ Renaissance Festival is a medieval amusement park, attraction with a 12-stage theater, 30-acre circus, arts and crafts fair, and jousting tournament -- all rolled into one non-stop, day-long family adventure just outside of Phoenix.

Celebrating 25 Years of Cheers the Arizona Renaissance Festival will be open every Saturday and Sunday, February 9, through March 31, 2013, from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. The AZ Ren Fest is also open on Presidents' Day Monday, February 18, 2013.

The Renaissance Festival is held near Apache Junction, Arizona- between Phoenix and Tucson.

Walk among more than 2,000 brightly costumed actors, dancers, and musicians who roam the medieval replica village.

Browse over 200 elaborately adorned shops offering an array of traditional goods surrounded among 12 stages of entertainment.

The Renaissance Festival experience is meeting and interacting with these colorful characters, shopping for arts and crafts, and taking in a selection of over 150 shows every event day.

There is a great variety of food for feasting, and a bevy of beverages including Medieval Margaritas, Da Vinci Coladas, Dukes of Daiquiri, wine, turkey legs, honey mead, beers and ales, along with soft drinks and lemonade.

New street shows and entertainment

Arizona Renaissance Festival This year, check out the new stage and new street shows with music, comedy and jousting.

One of the most popular attractions at the AZ Ren Fest is the live jousting tournaments held three times daily, complete with knights on charging horses, clanging weapons and a great deal of braggadocio.

The 16th century Festival is home to many popular traditions including chomping down on a giant roasted turkey leg, and also features demonstrations of time honored crafts such as weaving, glass blowing, blacksmithing and pottery throwing.

A most special event within this giant event is The Pleasure Feast.

This is a two hour six course medieval feast with live music and comedy entertainment, all you can eat and drink, plus festival gifts and souvenirs. With limited seating twice daily, advance feast reservations are recommended.

Arizona Reniassance Festival The most unique experience at the Renaissance Festival is the interaction with actors on the street who make everyone a part of the VILLAGE AT PLAY.

Those washer wenches don’t just act silly on the stage, they make sure their audience members make fools of themselves too. The King is not just some guy in a crown; when you meet royalty at the Festival, it is hard not to bow with everyone else.

Maybe you will be asked to carry a secret message for the Lord Sheriff, or you may find yourself the object of a poet's admiration or scorn. Don’t shy away from these encounters...you’ll have so much more fun if you jump right in!
