The Acadiana Renaissance Faire 2026 takes place every weekend from January 10 to February 8 in Ville Platte, Louisiana, with activities running Saturdays and Sundays from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

The festival was born in 2020, when a group of friends combined their love of creativity, human interaction, and the open air. From that spark, the Acadiana Renaissance Faire grew into an immersive village inspired by early Louisiana and the cultural roots of Acadiana.

Each weekend offers something unique—performances, characters, artisan merchants, food, and a warm atmosphere that feels genuinely welcoming.
