Join 30,000 Other Louisianians At This Year’s Gigantic Renaissance Festival
Louisiana hosts hundreds of festivals throughout the year, but this one might be the most unique festival in the entire state. Every year, the Renaissance Festival creates the magical city of Albright for six consecutive weeks of 16th-century fun that you simply have to see to believe. Mark your calendars – this family-friendly festival kicks off on November 2, 2019, and it’s worth a road trip from any corner of the state.
RenFest, as it’s more commonly known, is more than just a festival - it’s a theme park, theater, and shopping spot all rolled into one.
Each year, the festival creates the magical city of Albright, a 16-acre town filled with hundreds of booths for shopping, 12 stages for live performances, and multiple vendors selling food.
Although after you see some of the costumes, you may be inspired to pop into one of the clothing shops and get yourself a period-piece outfit to slip into!
Luckily, the festival runs for six consecutive weekends, so you can come back again and again.

It's not every day you get to see a real-life sword fight!

From giant turkey legs to Scotch eggs, there’s truly something for everyone’s palate here. Of course, you’ll also find some 21st-century grub like nachos, burgers, and hot dogs.
