3105 West Pioneer (400 North) Road, Marriott-Slaterville City, Utah.
History and Fantasy unite every year in May at the Utah Renaissance Festival and Fantasy Faire in Marriott-Slaterville only 30 minutes from north Salt Lake City.
Here time stands still as myth and legend collide in a fanciful display of the Renaissance period interspersed with eccentric and whimsical elements of a time that never truly was.
As you step through the gates into Hawkhurst Village, Fairies float by on gossamer wings, Gypsies belly dance to the beat of a rhythmic drum, Pirates fiercely guard their treasures, Mermaids splash playfully in their own pool of water, Magicians perform amazing illusions, and in the distance you can see the Knights of Honor preparing for their jousting tournament that is to be presided over by the Royal Court and King Henry VIII. You'll also have the chance to wander through the Guild Encampment where you can visit with the Romans, The House of Tudor and Azure Rose.
Along the way you will be serenaded by roving minstrels and troubadours, and merchants of all types will entice you to view and purchase their wares: Colorful tapestries, handcrafted leather bracers and bracelets, wooden toys on display, unique jewelry, pretty fascinators and handmade leather masks, hand glazed stoneware, and amazing treasures from all over the world. Over 100 merchants will be hawking their wares so you are sure to find something special!
Scattered throughout the grounds are many stages where you can stop and rest (even get a well-deserved massage) while listening to a story, or watching dancers, musicians, and comedic acts. Should hunger or thirst come upon you then you can find solace in the comfort of a cool drink or a plate of cheesy ribbon fries. Feeling adventurous? Then try a Turkey Leg or a Scotch Egg.
Stay a few hours or enjoy an entire day; tickets are only $12 for adults, and $6 for youth ages 6-12, 5 and under are free! Federal employees, seniors, military and adults in renaissance garb receive $2 off the ticket price! Parking is free of charge!
Proceeds from ticket sales goes to a local animal care organization, Pack'N Pounce.
