Fun for Kids & Families
The Texas Renaissance Festival is a magical place for family fun and entertainment. Try your skills at the archery, axe throwing or Jacob's ladder. Take a ride on the swings in the Enchanted Forest or take a spin on the DaVinci Flying Machines. After you've taken in the Fire Whip Show or the Great Rondini, get yourself a turkey leg and a lemonade while you walk around and browse the shoppes.
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 favorites for sure.

Friends
I love coming to the faire with friends, and making new friends. TRF is my second home and my faire family is amazing!
-Chip Ware, Houston

Groups
Experience an exciting group outing like no other. Groups will enjoy strolling the cobblestone paths of our authentic 55-acre 16th century village, visiting more than 400 shoppes featuring unique arts and crafts, foods from many cultures, games of skill, and a variety of human-powered rides. In addition, hundreds of costumed characters are there to entertain your party with over 200 performances daily. Each of our eight themed weekends brings a new adventure for your group, offering unique programs, activities, and more!
This was the first event in nearly six years where I did not have to raise one finger to help. From the time we walked into the area Maw and Pa greeted us with the delicious food and hospitality. Out of the blue, the cast of characters from Alice in Wonderland and Peter Pan descended into our area to liven our group up which we felt was over the top and much appreciated by everyone.

Create the royal wedding of your dreams in 16th century-style within the walls of our charming English Village. Get swept away with one of our exclusive wedding packages designed to enhance the romance and magic of your wedding day!
The atmosphere was most enjoyable, when everything is put together I can't think of another service that out does the Texas renaissance festival weddings. It was a perfect day.
