The experience

What's special

The Siouxland Renaissance Festival is a family-friendly Renaissance festival run by the all-volunteer, non-profit Siouxland Renaissance Association, held over a single weekend, typically the first of June, at the W. H. Lyon Fairgrounds in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Themed around the Renaissance as viewed from Tudor England, it features live armored jousting twice daily, entertainment across roughly eight stages, a viking encampment, artisan vendors, and food and drink, with an educational mission built on re-enactment and participation. In 2026 it reached its 25th year as the 'Silver Jubilee,' and costumes are strongly encouraged, with a ticket discount for guests who dress up.

What people love

Attendees describe a delightful, family-friendly experience with engaging activities for all ages and volunteers who stay in character and interact well with children, and the festival draws strong local ratings. Dressing up is popular and rewarded with a ticket discount, and past performers highlight the viking encampment as a favorite part of the grounds.

Last time around
