Welcome to Carthage, Missouri's
First Ever Renaissance Festival!

We invite you to travel back in time to 16th century Germany... the time of the Reformation and Renaissance!  Enjoy an outdoor setting of food, games and Renaissance cosplay.  Be entertained by Jesters and characters, participate in Renaissance crafts, peruse the market of handmade goods. We invite you to dress up in family friendly, period style and enjoy our first annual RenFest during the Maple Leaf Festival 2024!  

We encourage you to come in costume and play along with the theme.  Just remember, this is a holy festival under Duchess Sibylle of Saxony and she allows no unholy costumage, so please dress modestly.

Admission is free as are many of the games and things to do.  Souveniers, vendors, and food  tent will be available at moderate prices so that all can enjoy this event.  And donations made will be put into next year's RenFest.
