The Maryland Renaissance Festival, a tradition for the entire family, begins its 40th season August 27th and runs Saturdays and Sundays and Labor Day Monday through October 23rd for nine weekends of thrills, feasting, handmade crafts, entertainment and merriment in Crownsville, near Annapolis, Maryland.
More than 200 professional performers will appear on ten stages, with authentic combat armored jousting on magnificent steeds and streets filled with village characters. Join His Most Royal Highness King Henry VIII in the forests and glades with over 140 artisans exhibiting crafts in their own renaissance shops, five taverns featuring cool libations, 42 food and beverage emporiums providing a vast array of succulent and sweet treats to sate even the most hearty of appetites.
The first three weekends, from August 27th through September 11th, the Festival reduces pricing for all without coupons or special purchasing required to offer family friendly entertainment pricing. Tickets beginning September 12th through the end of the Festival are for peak season and still among the lowest of any renaissance festival in the country. Prices, special event info and full schedules are available at www.MarylandRenaissanceFestival.com.
