Huzzah! RenFest Is A Go For 2023
RENFEST IS BACK!
Good news for Renaissance Festival goers! It seems the parking problem that could have caused the RenFest to be cancelled, has been solved! I'm also excited to learn that there are going to be NEW additions to this year's RenFest.
Seven weekends of RenFest begin on Saturday, August 19th, 2023, and end on Sunday, October 1st, 2023, with the gates opening at 9 am. This is the 52nd Annual Renfest and there will be new things added this year, including:
- New Artisans
- Entertainment
- Food
- New games
- New themes
