The Arizona Renaissance Festival is back, inviting visitors to don their best medieval garb and partake in festivities straight from the days of knights and jesters. This year, there's a fresh lineup of entertainers set to grace the stages, and a raucous new experience dubbed "The Hops" is on tap for adults seeking a side of comedy with their craft beer. As ABC15 reported, performers such as Supernova the Strongwoman and The Reelin' Rogues are geared up to dazzle audiences, with Florian of The Renaissance Men recommending to "get the tickets to this experience ahead of time online, on the website."
Serious savings are within reach for those planning to storm the festival grounds in groups. As detailed on the festival's official website, magic-seekers can truly save when buying for 15 or more. With an online promo code, each member of your merry band nets a nice $2.00 off their entry. Even the noble group organizer receives a gratis ticket, a gesture of royal favor sure to please any budget-conscious subject. The free offer extends to the loyal bus driver who safely ferries your troop to the festival gates.
Prices with the group discount are locked in at $32.00 for adults and $20.00 for children aged 5-12, with lads and lasses under 4 entering free of charge (and not counting towards the ticket minimum). The clock's ticking, though; those interested in pulling together a group must act swiftly, submitting their promotional code by 5 pm on Thursday before the weekend they wish to attend. But with adult entertainment like "The Hops," make sure to leave the kiddos at the jousting ring. Rowland of The Renaissance Men described the experience in a statement obtained by ABC15, "Her majesty has given us permission to make it one of the raunchiest... just over the top shows that you can enjoy."
Attendees looking to bypass the serpentine entry lines can rejoice, as group tickets now herald their arrival conveniently via email, sparing loyal festival-goers the medieval ordeal of ticket booth queues. Added to the regale of handicrafts, jests, and jousts, the Arizona Renaissance Festival is ensuring this season is chock-full with new attractions and discounts fit for kings and queens alike. So, don your finery, assemble your fellow knights and maidens, and prepare to make merry with deals that would even have the court treasurer nodding in approval.
