Tennessee Renaissance Festival 2026

The 2026 Tennessee Renaissance Festival in Arrington, TN, offers swashbuckling, jousts, magic shows, musical performances, and many other must-see events!

Travel back to 16th-century England, where the Village of Covington Glen comes alive with the bustle of a Renaissance Marketplace. Artisans from all over the country display their wares from silks to swords; to jewels and unique forms of art. A variety of flavors, aromas and tastes greet festival-goers as the voices of Renaissance musicians and merrymakers echo through the trees. Enjoy the revelry and pageantry of the joust, along with tea and a special visit with Her Majesty, the Queen.

The 2026 Tennessee Renaissance Festival will be open on May 2^nd, 3^rd, 9^th, 10^th, 16^th, 17^th, 23^rd, 24^th, 25^th, 30^th, and 31^st. Festival hours of operation are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. every Saturday and Sunday in May, and on Monday, Memorial Day.

Enjoy shopping at the Covington Glen marketplace, playing games, watching jesters, jugglers, magicians, and minstrels perform, listening to pirate tales, royal jousts, touring the Castle Gwynn Grounds, foods and drinks from merchants and vendors, and more!
