Come visit one of the premier events in the Washington, DC/Baltimore region - the 44th Annual Maryland Renaissance Festival. Travel back to the 16th century to see the court life and villagers surrounding King Henry VIII played out so well, that you would swear you stepped back in time to a rural village where the powerful English king is visiting with his courtly entourage.

Lauren Muney of Silhouettes By Hand will be a guest artist this opening weekend (August 29-30) and Sept 26-27. Lauren spent many years as a stage performer and also on staff. She returns for the first time in over 15 years as an artisan. More information on her appearance coming soon.

The artists at the Festival have all undergone a jury process, being selected from several thousand who have applied over the years. Each year new artisans are juried from almost one hundred new applicants to fill spaces that rarely become available, either as full time exhibitors or Guest Merchants in the Festival’s limited run shops. The Maryland Renaissance festival combines the unique and varied artisans with a village full of entertainment, pageantry, foods and beverages in a 16th century English village with activities and attractions for the whole family.

On this special “Children’s Weekend”, children under 15 enter free of charge! So get ready to save money at the gate so you can enjoy the festival more - with additional coinage in your pocket.
