Renaissance Galore!

Apache Junction Travel Blog › entry 1 of 1 › view all entries

Every year, the Renaissance festival and artisan marketplace comes to Apache Junction between the months of February and March. Eat turkey legs off the bone, try your hand at archery, be surrounded by medieval knights, ladies, and barbarians...

Renaissance Galore!

It is like the disney land of old.  Watch jousting tournaments where the knights battle to the death, fly in one of leonardo da vinci's flying contraptions, observe the ancient art of falconry, see how cloth was woven, buy a sword, a suit of armor, rub yourself in perfumes and oils of old, watch live performances of music, dance, and comedy through out the day, and eat eat eat!

A journey into another world. A world of jousting, archery, sword fights, swashbuckling, goblets and shanks, heavy velvet embroidered gowns, cleavage, tights, faery tales, magic, meat on a stick, privies, and torture chambers. runs february through march each year!

medieval or renaissance fashions are optional, although you can rent them by the entrance for exorbitant fees, and they smell. part of the magic is dressing up and becoming a part of that world.
