Step back in time to the excitement and fanfare of the 16th century at the St. Louis Renaissance Festival, a yearly occasion in St. Charles County that’s a beloved tradition for both locals and visitors. This enchanting event bursts with activities for the entire family, featuring live music, captivating entertainment, mouth-watering food, and unique artisan vendors.
This year you can join the merriment from September 14 to October 27, with the festival running on weekends (Saturday & Sunday) and on Columbus Day, Monday, October 14, from 10 AM to 6 PM, rain or shine.
Here’s what to expect as you don your finest Renaissance attire and immerse yourself in a world of knights, jesters, and magical moments!
Food and Dining
From turkey legs to corn dogs, bratwurst, and various types of meat on a stick (arguably its most popular food offering), the St. Louis Renaissance Faire never disappoints with its large selection of themed foods and beverages. Still, if turkey legs don't float your boat, find dinner at a restaurant nearby.
Artisan Vendors
Travel through the village shops to catch some of the festival’s most anticipated events — live arts and crafts in the making! Experience artisan demos from jewelry makers, glass blowers, potters, and more. Make sure to support these incredible makers and vendors by purchasing their unique handmade goods to take a piece of the festival home.
Entertainment
The village of Petite Lyon, a quaint area of southern France during the 1520s, is brought back to life at the St. Louis Renaissance Festival, including all of the entertainment you may have encountered back in the day. Throughout the festival grounds, experience stage and street acts who dance, do tricks, perform live music, and instill laughter in the streets with their timeless comedy. Immerse yourself in the St. Louis Ren Faire experience firsthand and play games like archery, ax throwing, and tomato torment. Don't forget to watch the jousting!
