About

The Texas Renaissance Festival is the largest and most acclaimed Renaissance-themed festival in the United States. Founded in 1974 in Todd Mission, Texas nearly 50 minutes north of Houston, TRF has exploded in the last 50 years into the premiere destination to experience the magic and revelry of the past. Half a million patrons a year wander through the lanes of New Market Village, witnessing shows across over a dozen stages, shopping from over 400 vendors, and adventuring across our 8 themed weekends.

Lots of neat shops, awesome performances and good food/drinks. I've been to a few renaissance festivals and I would say this was one of my favorite for sure.

Turkey Legs at the Texas Renaissance Festival

I always have the greatest experience. The performance every member of the festival gives is of the highest quality. I can't recommend this festival enough, 6/5 stars if it were possible for all their hard work and dedication.
