Part circus, craft show, music festival, theme park, and the best selection of unique food you’ll ever find in one place – and I tackled it with my gal pal Elise and her bro Tristian! On the last day we ventured into a fantasy land of Cosplay that spans 32-acre recreated into a 16th-century English village!
Founded in 1986, the Georgia Renaissance Festival began on 65 acres just to the east of I-85 in Fairburn, drawing a crowd of about 32,000. Fast forward to 2022, and the Festival now lives on 120 acres one mile to the west of its original location and attracts over 120,000 visitors over eight weekends every spring. What is a Renaissance Festival?
Comedians, jugglers, circus-style acts and musicians perform non-stop all day on 10 stages and in the lanes. Don’t miss the Royal Joust, held three times daily in the arena where brave knights challenge one another atop mighty steeds in a series of challenges that will determine who is the “King’s Champion!” Food at the Georgia RenFest is always a unique experience. A wide variety of gourmet delights greet you as you travel from one food vendor to the next. Whether you choose a chicken sandwich, a steak on a stake, a succulent meat pie, Greek gyro, Scotch egg, or a pork chop on a stick, you won’t leave hungry! The most popular entrée is the giant roast turkey legge! Weighing in at a pound and a half, enjoying one of these monster legges is an event! And if you love hot dogs (and who doesn’t?) the King’s Weinie reigns supreme! It is a half-pound premium hot dog crowned with chili and cheese on a bun.
So much to explore it’s worth slicing 2 days to fully engage with all the experiences!
