Kansas City Renaissance Festival

The Kansas City Renaissance Festival is a long-running tradition that draws over 200,000 visitors each year, making it one of the largest events of its kind in the country. What started in 1977 as a fundraiser has grown into a beloved seasonal attraction featuring the sights, sounds, and entertainment of a Renaissance faire experience. The festival runs on weekends throughout September and October, with extended hours on select holiday dates. Plan for a full day of activities, with the grounds open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on most days. Families can visit the website or purchase tickets in advance to plan their visit and learn more about what's happening during their chosen day.
