Arizona Renaissance Festival
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Arizona Renaissance Festival is a medieval amusement park and Renaissance fair in Arizona located in Apache Junction east of the Phoenix metro area near Gold Canyon. The Renaissance Festival usually runs from late winter to mid spring every year, as the winters and springs in the area are actually very mild and pleasant.
