‘Age of Chivalry’ Renaissance Festival canceled in Las Vegas

Updated May 4, 2020 - 4:02 pm

The three-day “Age of Chivalry” Renaissance Festival scheduled at Sunset Park in October has been canceled because of “uncertainty” over the coronavirus pandemic and event-associated costs, the Clark County Parks and Recreation Department said Monday.

“It is with great heartbreak we had to make this decision,” department Director Daniel Hernandez said in a statement. “Ren Faire is a staple event for our department and brings so much joy to many who attend each year.”

The festival, which had been scheduled for Oct. 11-13, has been held for 25 years and draws an average of 32,000 people annually, according to the county. The event transforms Sunset Park into a medieval township for participants to explore different villages, listen to music, watch plays, eat and learn about the time period.
