Maidens, Knights and Zombies

Doth thou wish for a fun, safe place for trickery and treats? Get thee to the Carolina Renaissance Festival, a medieval amusement park and artisan marketplace.

Young masters and maidens can find free treats throughout its 25-acre village on Saturday and Sunday, October 27 and 28, 2018. There’s also a treasure hunt and a costume contest with prizes. In addition, a full day of regular Festival entertainment is complemented by zombie jousting challenges.

For the Halloween weekend, admission is free for kids (12 and under). Adult tickets are $24 when purchased in advance at Harris Teeter stores, $1 higher at the gate. Event parking is free.

The regular festival is held on consecutive weekends, Saturdays and Sundays, September 29 through November 18, at its permanent fairgrounds at 16445 Poplar Tent Road in Huntersville.
