Louisiana Renaissance Festival 2025

From November 1 to December 7, 2025, the enchanting city of Hammond, Louisiana, will once again open its gates to time travelers, dreamers, and history lovers for the Louisiana Renaissance Festival 2025 — one of the South’s most beloved seasonal traditions. Every autumn, a sleepy corner of Hammond transforms into Albright, a bustling 16th-century English village filled with laughter, music, and the scent of freshly baked bread.

🎭 A Journey Through Time and Imagination

The Louisiana Renaissance Festival is not just an event — it’s a full-blown experience. Imagine walking through cobblestone lanes surrounded by more than 600 artisans, entertainers, and educators, each devoted to recreating the spirit of the Renaissance. Whether you come for the theater, the handcrafted treasures, or the educational demonstrations, this festival offers an irresistible blend of fun, history, and holiday cheer.

Visitors can enjoy over 50 live shows daily across a dozen stages, explore hundreds of artisan booths, and lose themselves in the romantic charm of Albright Village. It’s part theme park, part open-air museum, and part shopping paradise, all rolled into a single weekend adventure.
