Texas Renaissance Festival School Days–11/4 & 11/5

The Texas Renaissance Festival invites all public, private and home school educators and students to join us for the 10th Annual School Days. School Days is offered exclusively as an educational opportunity. The festival grounds will not be open to the general public. It is designed to be age appropriate for students and all events, shows and activities will be both educational and entertaining.  Students, teachers and chaperones are invited to join the fun and come in costume.

Students step back in time as they enter the sights and sounds of New Market Village, an authentic recreation of a 16th century European Village.   Students will interact with hundreds of costumed characters representing the courts, culture, art, science and literature of the Renaissance Period.

Jousting knights, musicians, jesters and magicians perform on stages and arenas throughout the village.  Students will have the opportunity to learn courtly dances, the ancient art of falconry, and the history of arms and armor. 

Artisans in period dress illustrate the technological advances of the Renaissance age through live demonstrations in pottery, glass blowing blacksmithing, armor making and other arts and trades of this amazing period.

The 2014 School Days will be held on Tuesday and Wednesday, November 4th and 5th, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.   The Texas Renaissance Festival is located at 21778 FM 1774, between the towns of Magnolia and Plantersville, Texas, 45 miles northwest of downtown Houston.
