Renaissance and Medieval Festivals in Texas

Welcome to Texas, the Lone Star State — home to over 30 million people, vast plains, dramatic hill country, sprawling deserts, and a proud spirit of independence. With a history stretching from Native tribes to Spanish missions, frontier settlers, and oil booms, Texas is a land of legendary tales and bold character.

Step into Texas’s rich medieval‑and‑Renaissance tapestry at fairs and festivals across the state, where you’ll be transported to another era. Expect castle‑like tents, costumed knights and damsels, artisan vendors, lute music drifting through the air, armored jousts, mead halls full of hearty food, and immersive settings where past and present mingle. These gatherings combine pageantry, performance, craft, and camaraderie.
