Ohio Renaissance Festival is almost Here!

The Ohio Renaissance Festival is back for another year! 

Here ye! Here ye!

The Ohio Renaissance festival is slated to open back up for the season on Saturday August 30th at 10:30am.

 

This festival draws visitors from all over the state and surrounding states. Packed full of great shops, food, entertainment and more this festival is a must visit during the fall.

The festival runs August 30th through October 26th. Best to arrive early, parking can sometimes be tricky. The parking area opens an hour before the gates, so plan to be there when the parking opens if you are visiting all day.

There are also theme weekends every weekend they are open. No obligation to dress up in the specific theme, but there are different events for each theme weekend. Pirates and Viking weekend are some of our favorites.
