Description

Scarborough Renaissance Festival is a North Texas tradition providing interactive fun for everyone, 16th Century style! You will discover a 35-acre recreation of a 16th-century English village celebrating the visit of King Henry VIII and Queen Katherine Parr, their royal court, and guests with a festival of entertainment, artisans, food, magic, and merriment in the “Village of Scarborough.”

Visitors can enjoy full combat jousting and birds of prey exhibitions, a Mermaid Lagoon, 20+ stages of non-stop Renaissance entertainment and the 125-plus member performing company. There is an amazing Artisan’s Marketplace with 200+ shoppes of exquisite crafts and incredible artisan demonstrations along with children’s Knighting Ceremonies, Human Chess Matches, the Grande Parade, fun for kids, themed weekends with interactive activities, and so much more.

Located in Waxahachie, Texas, Scarborough Renaissance Festival is just 30 minutes south downtown of Dallas off I-35E. 2025 will mark the Festival's 44th season and will run Saturdays, Sundays, and Memorial Day Monday, April 5 – May 26, 2025.

Scarborough Renaissance Festival

The majority of entertainment at Scarborough Renaissance Festival is rated PG and is acceptable for any age. However, there are some shows that are geared more toward children. Others are more appropriate for a mature audience and are rated PG-16 (not suitable for young children). The PG-16 shows are primarily located in the pub areas and are clearly indicated in the souvenir program, on the website, and on the stage signage.
