What to Eat and Drink at the Texas Renaissance Festival, 2024 - Eater Houston
"Located roughly 55 miles north of Houston in Todd Mission, Texas, the Renaissance Festival is one of the state’s most anticipated fall events and the largest Renaissance festival in the nation. For just eight weekends, the festival unleashes its old-time faire in Todd Mission, Texas, welcoming travelers from all over to dress up and indulge in activities that revel in the Middle Ages and antiquity. This year, however, is particularly noteworthy. Following the release of its controversial documentary on its wavering kingship, the festival celebrates its 50th anniversary, and food and drink, as always, is a crucial part of the experience. But contrary to what some might believe, the Renaissance festival goes far beyond turkey legs. From now through the first weekend of December, the festival features entire kingdoms brimming with dozens of vendors offering a bevy of fried goodness and irresistible creations on sticks, plus immersive experiences like high tea time and wine tastings. There’s something for everyone." - Brittany Britto Garley
