The popular Texas Renaissance Festival opens in October 11 and runs through November 30. This acclaimed renaissance themed park is located north of Houston, an easy trip from San Antonio.
Part of this year's Renaissance Festival is their eight themed weekends. Themes include Oktoberfest, 1001 Dreams, Pirate Adventures, All Hallows Eve, Highland Fling, Barbarian Invasion and Celtic Christmas.
Besides the themed weekends, the Texas Renaissance Festival features over 200 daily performances, 300 arts and crafts shops, 60 food and beverage shops, nightly fireworks and more than 3,000 costumed characters strolling the grounds.
I took my kids and one of my nephews to the Renaissance Festival when they were in their young teens and we all have a lot of fun. Don't miss an opportunity to attend this unique, eight-week theme park this year.

Shirley, There is one weekend that my young adult son likes to go. He will be on his R & R from Iraq the first three weeks in November so hopefully that weekend will fall in that period.

No kind of a Renaissance festival up in these here parts. The full sure does give a lot of color, for folk's to look at. Thats for sure.
I even have to, have boots, shirts, and hats sent to me. Have not found one real western store in these here parts.
If you want to protect your child from vile comments about his/her sexual identity, avoid the "tomato torment" and "drench the wench" area in the Sherwood Forest area at the Texas Renaissance Festival. Our 13 year old son and his friend assumed, as did we adults and our older teenage daugther and her friend, that games located between the petting zoo and the maze and mere steps away from other family friendly activities would be ok for a 13 year old. Imagine our shock and dismay to have the tomato tormenter say to our young son and his friend "it must be awful to know you're gay before you hit puberty" and "you can't throw because you have a light arm, you little F...." Management on site shrugged it off. Letters to the vendor coordinator of the TRF and the owner of the games have brought promises to put up signage warning people that those games are not intended for children. All in all, it's not an experience I'd risk again.
