THE WOODLANDS, Texas –– Hip, hip huzzah!
The Texas Renaissance Festival has announced a 100-acre expansion to its overnight camping facilities with groundbreaking beginning in early 2012 to accommodate the high demand of visitors seeking an entire weekend of lively spirits.
The campgrounds currently measure 70 acres for patrons and will more than double in size in 2012 to a total of 170 acres, allowing for campers to have plenty of space to bring tents and other essentials onto the camping ground. The entire Texas Renaissance Festival facilities will grow to more than 600 acres with the addition, almost a complete square mile.
“We are really excited about expanding our campground expansion which will be complete in time 2012 season,” said Texas Renaissance Festival General Manager, Terre Albert. “We have seen such an increase in the number of campers over the past seven seasons that we wanted to make sure we could comfortably accommodate everyone for years to come.”
The campground will remain under the same rules; first come first serve and no reservations required. Camping will still cost $20 a ticket with purchase of festival tickets. The campgrounds will feature the Quickie Mart for ice, drinks and snacks and is open from 10 a.m. on Friday until 9 a.m. Monday.
The Texas Renaissance Festival will host opening weekend Oct. 6 and will be active on weekends through the Thanksgiving holiday on Nov. 25. Once again the festival will include eight themed weekends including Oktoberfest, Roman Bacchanal and the ever popular Barbarian Invasion.
Season tickets will go on sale starting March 1.
