46th annual festival will offer new visitors and longtime fans nine themed weekends on the grounds of the 55-acre medieval village, located approximately 55 miles northwest of Houston. Performers and vendors will be required to wear face masks throughout the season. If there is a state face mask mandate, patrons will be required to wear face masks. If there is no state mandate in place, patrons will not be required to wear masks, but will be strongly encouraged to do so. The festival will conduct a daily face mask contest for its patrons and will be judged on creativity and coordination with the theme of the weekend. The Texas Renaissance Festival’s pandemic plan will continue to be revised as new information and input from government and health authorities becomes available. In the event the 2020 Texas Renaissance Festival season is canceled, ticket holders can roll their tickets over to the 2021 season or request a refund. There will be NO gate ticket sales. ALL tickets are DATE SPECIFIC and will need to be purchased in advance. Tickets on sale ONLINE NOW at www.texrenfest.com and Groupon.
