Ohio Renaissance Festival

Waynesville

Help kick off the first weekend of this Waynesville gathering at its 30-acre rendition of a 16th-century English village. Each one has a different theme, so no two visits are the same. Visitors can expect to see hundreds of costumed musicians, dancers, knights and performers re-create the best of Renaissance entertainment across 22 stages and are encouraged to come in costume to play period-themed games, explore the Tower of London Dungeon of Doom and wash down giant turkey legs with a glass of hearty ale.
