HAMMOND, La – If you’ve got the time to go back in time.
It’s a friendly time.

It’s a festival the size of the Superdome.
The Louisiana Renaissance Festival is ready to take you, your family, your friends, everybody on the trip of a life time.

When you arrive, when you come through the castle that’s the front door, you’ll see people all dressed up with the perfect place to go.
The Louisiana Renaissance Festival is more than a festival. It’s a theme park.
It’s a theatre.
It’s a shopping extravaganza. Where else can you shop for stuff from the 1500’s?

It happens every fall. That’s when the Village of Albright pops up in this corner of Hammond, Louisiana.
The people who give it life, the villagers who want to welcome you and your family are more than 600 creative artists and entertainers who really do have a lot of life and a lot to offer you.
The Louisiana Renaissance Festival is open Saturdays and Sundays through December 10.
