Age of Chivalry Renaissance Festival Back For 2024

Behold, it is near! The Age of Chivalry Renaissance Festival is on its way back to Las Vegas. And this year is going to be one of the biggest ones yet. Because the Renaissance Festival is celebrating it's 30th anniversary in Southern Nevada. The event will be held in October at Sunset Park, with vendors, performers and an unforgettable trip back in time.

The event will again be at Sunset Park, the home of the Renaissance Festival in Las Vegas since 1995. Before then it was at much smaller venues, but the event quickly became a local favorite and outgrew its original locations. Now it covers 31 acres of Sunset Park with an estimated 63,000 people visiting for the event. Some even staying overnight in the designated Renaissance Festival camping areas.

Attractions for this year's Age of Chivalry Renaissance Festival will include performances by some of Las Vegas's most beloved talent. Guests can look forward to the famous blacksmith demos, magic and variety shows, sword fighting, a comedy show, fire dancers, jousting and more. There will also be interactive activities for visitors. Guests can try their skill at axe throwing, enjoy inflatable games, explore in the royal scavenger hunt or even ride a camel.

One of the newer developments at the Age of Chivalry Renaissance Festival is the camping packages. Introduced in 2017, the packages allow guests to stay on the festival grounds during the duration of the event. Different packages are available for different sized groups, which gives an elevated experience for those who wish to be fully-immersed in the experience.

Tickets for Age of Chivalry are on sale and differ in price depending on what perks guests would like. There are day passes, passes that include food and beer tasting, VIP packages and more.

The Age of Chivalry festival will be held October 11th through October 13th, 2024. Sunset Park is located at 2601 East Sunset Road on the corner of Sunset Road and Eastern Road near the Harry Reid Airport.
