Full of whimsical and delightful surprises, it’s an experience that can’t be matched in this century. The Arizona Renaissance Festival is a medieval amusement park, a 13-stage theatre, a 30-acre circus, an arts and crafts faire, a jousting tournament and a feast all rolled into one non-stop, day-long, family adventure. The festival is one of the most interactive entertainment shows ever created with wonderful amusements and antics. Enjoy non-stop entertainment including comedy, music and dancing. Sit back and relax or become a part of the action as you are surrounded by over 2,000 costumed characters roaming the festival village. This Ticket Tuesday, we give away passes for the amazing Arizona Renaissance Festival.

Arizona Renaissance Festival

Arizona Renaissance Festival is more than an interactive and delightful event. The Festival incorporates outreach elements to local schools. Teachers who wish to experience a distinctive field trip opportunity can step into the world of royals, peasants, Galileo, Medicis, Shakespeare and Magellan to study language, science, arts and engineering up close during Student Days. In addition to outreach, talented artisans are featured at the village marketplace. With over 200 shops, it’s an adventure to find unique hand made items such as blown glass, premium leather goods and jewelry.

To enter our Ticket Tuesday giveaway, tell us in our comment section about your desired era to visit, should you commandeer a time machine. Would you plunder with pirates, Charleston with flappers or brave the dark and mysterious streets of Dickensian London? Of course, partying like it’s 1499 is also an excellent choice. We will select a winner using random.org. We’ll allow 24 hours for commenting. Winners will be notified by e-mail sometime on Wednesday, February 8th. Comments are moderated and may take some time to appear. Please do not resubmit your comments — one is plenty.**CONTEST CLOSED**
