Each year, nearly 300 school groups ranging from elementary to high school travel to the Festival for a fun learning experience. These groups hail from across Kansas and Missouri as well as Nebraska, Iowa, Arkansas and Oklahoma to complement their in-class learning with a fun, interactive view of life in the Renaissance and through the Living History Tour. www.kcrenfest.com has games and curriculum activities specifically designed to compliment what students learn at the Festival.

After over three decades of entertaining the Midwest with the sights and sounds of Renaissance England, this event has become almost synonymous with autumn in Kansas City.

As guests have come to expect, Festival organizers and participants will offer an escape from this century and a chance to play, if only for a day, in the village of Canterbury. Where else can you feast like royalty, dance like gypsies, quaff ale with colorful villagers, shop among 165 skilled artisans and watch noble knights joust for honor all in the same day?
