Maryland Renaissance Festival

Princess & Pirate party from 11am – 12noon at the Boars Head Tavern. All wee lads and lasses are invited to dress in their finest princess or pirate costume and enjoy music, dance, activities and even march in a parade! This party may appeal to
children ages 4 – 8, but all are welcomed.
In celebration of the festival’s 30th anniversary, King Henry VIII has declared the village will host a Family Tudor Costume Contest. Prizes will be awarded to the family who wears the most accurate Tudor costumes. (We are describing a family unit as at least one parent/guardian and child under the age of 16. However – the more the merrier!).

Family Tudor Costume Contest

The costume contest will be held at 12:30pm at the Market Stage. In case of rain, it will be moved to the Boars Head Tavern. Prizes include tickets to Medieval Times in Arundel Mills Mall. And the winning family will be invited to view the 2pm Joust from the Reviewing Stand!
