The Central Coast Renaissance Festival takes you into a world of wonder and excitement. Mark your calendars for July 15th and 16th, 2023, and get ready for an unforgettable experience filled with magic and merriment.

It All Happens At San Luis Obispo’s Laguna Lake Park

Step back in time and witness the grandeur of Queen Elizabeth I’s reign in England. Experience the era’s legendary characters like William Shakespeare, Sir Walter Raleigh, and Sir Francis Drake, along with famous Dukes, Earls, Lords, and Ladies, all dressed in their finest attire, waiting to entertain you.

Relax On A Shady Hay Bale And Enjoy The Shows

You’ll get lost in time enjoying the riotous stage plays, hilarious comedy acts, and authentic Elizabethan dancing, singing, and magic on four stages throughout the village. You’ll also see living history demonstrations in the streets, making the entertainment continuous and captivating.

The Featured Event

Don’t miss the featured event with Armored Combat Worldwide (ACW), an armored combat team that competes in international tournaments and events.

Watch their full combat battles held twice daily at 12:00 PM and 3:00 PM. You may have seen some of them in the History Channel’s series, Knight Fight.

Just For The Children

Buccaneer Boot Camp is where kids get balloon swords and receive basic training in swordsmanship. This will enable them to safely and accurately engage in sword fights with our pirate crew, using their cutlass balloon swords. As part of the training, they will also learn various sailor and pirate terminologies, enabling them to speak like a seasoned pirate. This activity takes place several times a day.

Treat Your Taste Buds

With all this excitement you are bound to get hungry and thirsty, so we’re prepared to please any palate. Check out the food here!

Costumes Are Not Required

While costumes are welcome, they’re not required, and you may attend as you wish. However, dressing up as an Elizabethan adds to the fun, and there are plenty of vendors selling Elizabethan clothing.
