Welcome, m' lords and ladies, to the 16th century English village of Revel Grove at the Maryland Renaissance Festival.

Non-stop entertainment on ten major stages, hearty feasts, cold ale, craft booths, five pubs and a popular jousting arena makes this village seem eerily like the real deal! This truly is a family entertainment destinations with special events made just for the little lads and lassies, including a children's knighting ceremony, special rides and games, pony rides and more.

Chug a mug of ale and gnaw on an enormous turkey leg as you head over to cheer on your knight in the full-contact joust competition!
