Thank you for your interest in joining us for the Ohio Renaissance Festival.

This event is at capacity, and registration is now closed. Please check the Global Engagement calendar for future events.


Join the Global Engagement team and Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies for a free trip to the Ohio Renaissance Festival in Waynesville, Ohio, during Highland Weekend. Step back in time while exploring this 30-acre re-created 16th Century English Village and enjoy over 400 years of fun in a single day!

Over 150 costumed characters will welcome you to the village as you rub elbows with royalty and cheer on your favorite knight to victory in the thrilling Full Armored Tournament Joust. Enjoy events and shows or learn more about medieval European history and traditional arts and culture.

Registration closes Thursday, September 22, at 12 p.m. and is required to attend. Participation is limited and will be given on a first-come, first-served basis. You will be notified if you are confirmed to attend or if you are on the waitlist – please register with an email you check frequently.

Plan to meet at the Ohio Union bus turnaround (12th Avenue) by 9:10 a.m. and return by 5 p.m. Renaissance Park, where the festival is located, is approximately one hour away from campus. Bus transportation and admission into the festival are covered by the Office of International Affairs for confirmed students. Make sure to bring money for food and souvenirs.
