The Kerrville Renaissance Festival will be returning for the fifth year beginning Friday, January 29-31 at the River Star Arts and Events Park, on the grounds of the Hill Country Youth Event Center, 3785 TX-27, in Kerrville.

The three day event will evoke a Renaissance Festival Marketplace, with a smaller entertainment lineup to help spread out spectators and practice social distancing guidelines.

There will be more than 30 craft shops and food vendors along with magicians, dancers, musicians and jugglers. The traditional 16th century foods along with modern day menu offerings will be paired with craft beer, wine and mead.

Festival organizer April Cory said, “Because our local supporters worked so hard the past four years to get the ordinance changed to allow us to sell mead and wine, we didn’t want to let them down by not opening. We are inviting our patrons and guests to visit the grounds, buy a craft, enjoy a turkey leg, sip some mead, and stay as long as they feel comfortable.”
