A touch of whimsy and fantasy color the ambiance of Arizona Renaissance Festival. Just outside of Phoenix, the Renaissance Festival takes place in Gold Canyon Saturdays and Sundays during February and March. Featuring live entertainment on 14 stages including falconry demonstrations, dancing, live music, comedy and shows for kids. Also, be sure to cheer on your favorite knight in shining armor at the jousting tournament. The Renaissance experience is not complete without a turkey leg, but for those with bigger appetites, the Pleasure Feast offers a five-course meal along with live entertainment so you can live like royalty
Dates for next year’s Renaissance Festival have already been announced: Saturday and Sunday (plus President’s Day) February 8 to March 29, 2020.
