Eat, drink, and be merry at the Georgia Renaissance Festival, returning to Fairburn, GA, from Saturday, April 11th to Sunday, May 31st in 2026.  This is about a 30-minute drive from downtown Atlanta.

The festival is open on Saturdays and Sundays, plus Memorial Day Monday.
Hours are 10:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., rain or shine.
Parking is FREE.

There is quite a bit to do at the Georgia Renaissance Festival and it is a family-friendly event with plenty for the kiddos. It’s a rain or shine event, so dress accordingly and pack ponchos and umbrellas if the forecast leaves any doubt.

There is food and drink (with a Renaissance theme!) available for purchase. You’ll also find plenty of entertainment and an artisans market for shopping. If you’re interested in special themed weekends (pirates, fairy tales, wizards, etc.), you can see them here.

NOTE: The Festival announced they have reduced daily capacity in 2026, so some dates may sell out more quickly than you expect.

Print your Groupon voucher in advance! You’ll need the paper document, because there is no wi-fi at the festival and the cell reception is said to be very spotty.
