The West Virginia Renaissance Festival opens its gates this Saturday, June 7, for a month of medieval merriment in Lewisburg. Running every weekend on Saturday and Sunday through June 29, from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., the festival offers a family-friendly journey into the past with live jousting, artisan markets, themed entertainment, and more.
Opening weekend, themed “Celtic Crossing,” features bagpipers, Celtic bands, and a “Best Knees in a Kilt” contest. Veterans, active military, and first responders receive free admission as a tribute to their service.
Held at 23439 Midland Trail East, just off I-64 Exit 161, the festival includes unicorn rides, archery, glassblowing, comedy acts, and a petting farm. Each weekend boasts a unique theme, from “Pirates Landing” to “Vikings Valhalla” and “Time Travelers.”
