The Renaissance Festival typically runs between the months of June and August.
[1] The renaissance festival was begun in 1975 as a tear-down event in Morrison, Colorado, with 60 artisan booths.
After two years, the grounds moved to Castle Rock before settling in its current location of Larkspur.
[2] Part or all of the Festival's current property in Larkspur was purchased from the historic American Federation of Human Rights Headquarters, which remains adjacent, in 1975.
The festival features over 200 artisan shops and hundreds of costumed performers.
