The Castle invites one and all to join the festivities of the 28th Annual Oklahoma Renaissance Festival!
Celebrate the upcoming return of the festival on Saturday, April 27th by visiting www.OKCASTLE.com and planning your journey to 1569 England.
Patrons shall be welcomed by Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth, and her Court of Nobles. Guests may look forward to weekly themes that provide additional visiting Kings and Queens. Just outside the Castle’s drawbridge, hearts will race while enjoying the Wheel of Death show. This daring act is a crowd favorite and is featured multiple times throughout the day. In addition to this show, the Knights and Dames of Castleton host a jousting tournament twice daily. Did we mention the Birds of Prey show? Entertaining, Educational, and for some… interactive! Patrons may grab lunch from the delectable food options to enjoy before, after, or during any of these top-notch shows!
Pirates are en route to Castleton Harbor! The Spice Boys have officially set their compass for Castleton. They will perform the first two weekends of the season on the Harbor Stage. The Jolly Rogers will provide nautical merriment for the remaining four.
For both Young and Young at Heart, The Castle would like to invite patrons to explore the newly rebuilt Castleton Maze. This is located near the Maypole and is sure to encourage participants to dial into navigation and memory skills to make their way out!
15+ stages throughout the grounds provide guests with a steady stream of entertainment. New to the festival this season is Samas. Guests may catch their shows on the Meadow Stage. This talented group is new to the festival in name only as these drummers are familiar faces of Castleton. Plan to enjoy the magical tunes of Music the Gathering and the hilarious balancing act of Bob the Juggler. Grab a frosty brew from one of the Castle’s pubs and enjoy shows throughout the day! Please visit the Castle’s website for a complete lineup for the season.
For the biggest personality on the musical lineup, we suggest a trip to the Cave. This is the home of the bone-cracking sounds of Tartanic. They feature bagpipes and drums and provide a mix of Celtic and Viking sound.
You will not want to miss a chance to see the band that has been voted “#1 Musical Group” by Renaissance Magazine! They have multiple shows per day on the Cave Stage. Tartanic is also the headline performer for the Castle’s 4th weekend after-hours event, the Ceilidh. Tickets for this event can be purchased the day of or online at www.okcastle.com (21+).
The Oklahoma Renaissance Festival is available for guests of all ages. The clothing is unique, the food is delicious, and most importantly… the memories made are once in a lifetime! Check out www.OKCASTLE.com for themes and events to coordinate with each weekend.
