Texas Renaissance Festival Celebrates 50th Anniversary with Community Giving

The Texas Renaissance Festival (TRF) gears up for its golden jubilee by extending its tradition of philanthropy through various charitable initiatives leading up to the milestone celebration. As a cherished icon in the region for half a century, TRF remains committed to giving back to the communities that have fueled its success and nurtured its growth.


"With our 50th anniversary on the horizon, we're taking a moment to reflect on our journey and the profound impact of community support," expressed Kolton Ammerman, Marketing Director for the Texas Renaissance Festival. "TRF has become a haven of joy and enchantment, where visitors escape into a realm of magic and merriment. None of this would have been possible without the unwavering support of our local communities. As a token of our gratitude, we're embarking on a series of charitable endeavors to give back."


Here's a glimpse of the charitable events TRF will be participating in this spring and summer:

Nestled just an hour north of Houston, the Texas Renaissance Festival stands as the nation’s premier festival of food, fun, and Renaissance magic, drawing over half a million visitors annually. The 50th-anniversary season, spanning eight themed weekends from October 12 through December 1, 2024 (including Thanksgiving Friday), promises to be an extraordinary celebration of community, culture, and cherished traditions.
