Mississippi — bordered by the Mississippi River, the Gulf Coast, rich delta land, and vast forests — is home to about 3 million people. Its landscapes carry the memory of Indigenous homelands, antebellum plantations, blues music, and a deeply layered Southern heritage.
Here in Mississippi, Renaissance Faires and medieval‑themed festivals feel both timeless and rooted. Expect wooded festival grounds, castles built of timber and canvas, costumed artisans, minstrel bands, and staged combat echoing chivalric tales. You might wander past blacksmiths forging blades, storytellers weaving myth and local lore, or dancers in swirling skirts under moss‑draped oaks. The mingling of history and fantasy, of Southern charm and aged stone, makes each gathering feel like a bridge between eras.
We invite you to browse the upcoming events in Mississippi — discover a festival that resonates, don your cloak or helm, and step into a world of magic, music, and merriment in the Heart of Dixie.
