About This Faire
Step back in time at the Des Moines Renaissance Faire, a beloved annual event held in Iowa. This renaissance faire offers a unique blend of historical immersion and family-friendly entertainment, providing a memorable experience for all ages. Unlike larger faires, Des Moines provides a more intimate atmosphere, allowing for closer interactions with performers and a more relaxed pace as visitors explore the recreated 16th-century village. Expect a day filled with captivating performances, including armored combat, live music, and comedic acts. The air is filled with the aroma of delicious, period-inspired food and drink. Participate in axe throwing, archery, or browse the artisan marketplace brimming with handcrafted goods from talented vendors. The Faire provides a vibrant and engaging setting where guests are encouraged to dress in costume and fully embrace the spirit of the Renaissance. The Des Moines Renaissance Faire is perfect for families, history enthusiasts, and anyone looking for a fun and immersive weekend activity. Comfortable shoes are recommended, as there is plenty of walking to be done. Be sure to check the daily schedule for specific showtimes and activities to make the most of your Renaissance adventure.
