Wenxin’s Life in Denver guide
Colorado Renaissance Festival
A wooded fantasy village filled with costumed performers, artisan shops, live entertainment, and festival food.
Why it belongs on your list
The Colorado Renaissance Festival transforms its Larkspur grounds into a lively Renaissance-inspired village. The official 2026 season runs weekends only from June 13 through August 2 at 650 Perry Park Avenue. It is an easy day trip from the Denver metro and one of Colorado’s most recognizable summer traditions.
Wenxin’s planning notes
- Buy tickets before driving south when possible.
- Wear supportive shoes—the grounds are large and can be uneven.
- Bring sun protection and a light rain layer for changing summer weather.
