Welcome to another season of the Maryland Renaissance Festival: the region's premier outdoor event and the second largest Renaissance Festival in the country!

Villagers and courtiers of King Henry VIII populate Revel Grove. Character interaction with patrons is the cornerstone of a visit to the Renaissance Festival. Enjoy the close-up entertainment from a strolling magician, mingle with a mime, or listen to court gossip from a noble Lady - you're part of the show at Revel Grove.

The village is comprised of pubs, stages, food booths and more than 130 craft shops. Eat, drink, wander through the village and enjoy the atmosphere.

In addition to the stage shows, there are musical and theatrical performances that take place in the pathways. There's also a free juggling school near the Royal Stage, and the Village Stocks where you can lock up your loved ones.

So - grab a turkey leg, quaff an ale and step back in time to where fun begins!

Open weekends only.
