That’s right – its that time of year again… …time to don your worst 16th century British accent, fill yer mugs with your favorite 21st century brew, and lace up your most comfortable walking shoes. The Texas Renaissance Festival is underway. One of the largest and most prestigious renfests in the nation, it will be running for the next eight weekends from 9AM to dusk.

Think we don’t do it big here in Texas? Check out the Google Earth image of the layout:

We are talking 54 acres of permanent facilities on 250 total acres.

Whether you want to take in the comedy acts, all manner of food on a stick, juggling, magic shows, jousting, falconry, limitless shopping opportunities, or just get your drunk on, RenFest has something for everyone. Just be prepared to drop a serious dime on ye olde merriment.
