Kansas City Renaissance FSTVL

The Kansas City Renaissance Festival began its journey in September of 1977 as a benefit for the Kansas City Art Institute. Since then, the Kansas City Renaissance Festival has grown to be one of the largest Renaissance Festivals in the United States, with an annual attendance of 200,000. Mid-America Festivals is the nation's largest producer of outdoor themed events.

Alcohol service will only be provided to guests 21 or older who show a valid, government-issued photo ID.
