Texas Renaissance Festival School Days

Texas Renaissance Festival - 11th Annual School Days November 3 & 4, 2015The Texas Renaissance Festival invites all public, private and home school educators and students to join us for the 11th Annual School Days, when our faire is open only to teachers and students! Students step back in time as they enter the sights and sounds of New Market Village, an authentic recreation of a 16th century European Village.  Students will interact with hundreds of costumed characters representing the courts, culture, art, science and literature of the Renaissance Period.Jousting knights, musicians, jesters and magicians perform on stages and arenas throughout the village.  Students will have the opportunity to learn courtly dances, the ancient art of falconry, and the history of arms and armor.  Artisans in period dress illustrate the technological advances of the Renaissance age through live demonstrations in pottery, glass blowing blacksmithing, armor making and other arts and trades of this amazing period. Enjoy students’ work:·          Visit the exhibit of winning student art work, held on the second floor of the Barbarian Inn, near the Falconer’s Heath·          Watch plays and scenes, or listen to beautiful music performed by student actors,  choirs, orchestras, and bands on stages throughout the village ·          Cheer on the trebuchet competitors at the jousting arena
