Arizona: Renaissance Festival
The Arizona Renaissance Festival 2010
The 22nd annual Arizona Renaissance Festival is a medieval amusement park, a 12-stage theater, a 30-acre circus, an arts and crafts fair, a jousting tournament and a feast -- all rolled into one non-stop, day-long family adventure.
This year's AZ Renaissance Festival, from February 6-March 28, 2010, features more than 2,000 brightly costumed actors, dancers, and musicians. The village has over 200 elaborately adorned shops offering an array of goods.
The Renaissance Festival experience is meeting and interacting with these colorful characters, shopping for arts and crafts, and taking in a selection of over 150 shows every event day.
There is a great variety of food for feasting, and a bevy of beverages including Medieval Margaritas, Da Vinci Coladas, Dukes of Daiquiri, wine, honey mead, beers and ales, along with soft drinks and lemonade

New stage, street shows and entertainment
This year, check out the new stage and new street shows with music, comedy and jousting. One of the most popular attractions at the Renaissance Festival is the live jousting tournaments held three times daily, complete with knights on charging horses, clanging weapons and a great deal of braggadocio.
The 16th century Festival is home to many popular traditions including chomping down on a giant roasted turkey leg, and also features demonstrations of time honored crafts such as weaving, glass blowing, blacksmithing and pottery throwing.
A most special event within this giant event is The Pleasure Feast. This is a two hour six course medieval feast with live music and comedy entertainment, all you can eat and drink, plus festival gifts and souvenirs. With limited seating twice daily, advance feast reservations are recommended.
The Arizona Renaissance Festival is located east of Apache Junction on US Highway 60, near the Superstition Mountains.
For eight consecutive weekends (Saturdays, Sundays, and Presidents’ Day Monday) from February 6 through March 28, the Festival will run from 10a.m. until 6:00p.m., rain or shine.
