On Saturday, April 10, the Scarborough Renaissance Festival reopened its doors in celebration of its 40th anniversary for opening weekend.
Last year, the festival was unable to open its doors to celebrate its big 4-0 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We closed down two weeks before are scheduled opening. It could not have been worst timing for us. Initially, we had postponed it for four weeks, hoping that we could run it in May at the time, and then as we got closer to April, we realized, OK this thing is getting worse and there s just no way we could do it . So we completely closed down.

Good morrow, m ladies, and gents.
Are you feeling a bit restless these days? Are you bored and looking for something fun, unique, and out of the ordinary to do this coming weekend? If so, I heard there is a renaissance festival happening not too far away from East Texas! The Scarborough Renaissance Festival in Waxahachie isn t too far of a drive, it s just under two hours.

It’s going to be a beautiful weekend over the next few days so make sure you take advantage of the awesome weather and have a blast with your family and friends! Here are some ideas to get you started.
