About the event
Come one, come all, and celebrate the grand return of the Renaissance in Wichita at the 26th Annual Fall Great Plains Renaissance & Scottish Festival! This beloved tradition fills Sedgwick County Park with a whirlwind of spectacle and wonder: jests and jousts, aerial acrobatics, falconry, and fire‑breathing daredevils.
Feel the pulse of bagpipes and Celtic music, marvel at belly dancers, cheer for singing pirates, and cross paths with knights, knaves, Vikings, and vagabonds. Explore the Wichita Highland Games, wander through the Kansas Authors Pavilion, and lose yourself in a world of fairies, fairy tales, fantastic artists, and marvelous merchants.
Join us for a weekend overflowing with magic, culture, and adventure — a celebration 26 years in the making.
