Welcome to Shrewsbury, England 1575...the 17th year of Her Royal Majesty, Queen Elizabeth’s reign. The snow and cold have gone and Spring hath come...Huzzah! The Earl and Countess of Shrewsbury have planned a festival to celebrate the season.

Come one, come all goode lords and ladies, merchants, yeomen, players, musicians, and peasants. Let us present to you the Siouxland Renaissance Festival!

Here you can travel back in time to the glorious reign of Queen Elizabeth I. See the sights, hear the sounds, and taste the food. Learn what it was like to live over 400 years ago as you take part in our historically flavored festival.

The festival will host a wide variety of vendors plying their trade and offering goods of every kind and foods to suit every taste. Venture into a realm especially for children.

Roam the streets filled with the people of Shrewsbury County and amusements of every kind.
