Traveling troupe of tales: Renaissance Fest returns to Louisiana

Heather Rabassa
December 1, 2023

The Louisiana Renaissance Festival is around for six weeks and each week has a theme. Starting from November 14 all the way to December 1, the Renaissance-themed park has plenty to do. Theatrical performances, holiday shopping destinations, and educational experiences are all rolled into one seamless adventure. With two weeks left, be sure to dress the part. December 2 and 3 is pirate themed, and December 9 and 10 is the fireworks finale. More than 600 artisans, entertainers, and educational demonstrations welcome you to the best parts of history!
