The Texas Renaissance Festival Grounds in Todd Mission, Texas, serve as the home of the nation’s largest and most enduring Renaissance-themed festival. Spanning more than 70 acres of immersive fairgrounds surrounded by forested countryside, the site is designed to transport visitors to a reimagined 16th-century European village filled with artisans, performers, and revelers.
Established in 1974, the festival site features more than 400 permanent shops, 25 stages, and a wide variety of food and beverage venues, each built with authentic medieval and fantasy-inspired architecture.

In addition to its world-famous festival, the property is used year-round for private events, weddings, concerts, and themed gatherings. The adjoining Fields of New Market Campground offers more than 200 acres of camping and RV space, complete with modern amenities and nightly entertainment during festival weekends.
The venue’s commitment to quality and authenticity has made it a Texas tourism icon and a vital contributor to regional economic and cultural life. Each season, the Texas Renaissance Festival Grounds welcome hundreds of thousands of visitors from around the world—making it not just a venue, but a destination that celebrates history, imagination, and community.
