If you head to the Renaissance Festival this weekend, you may notice that the temperature is
typically a few degrees cooler at the festival fairgrounds near the Superstition Mountains
compared to the city’s heat island.
In response to the early heat in Arizona, the Renaissance Festival is installing three giant misting
zones throughout the fairgrounds to help keep festival visitors cool and comfortable this
weekend.
“The giant misting fan trailers may seem modern and out of place compared to the festival’s
charming village, but it’s great to have several large areas that provide cooling relief during this
early heat wave,” said festival marketing director, Sanja Malinovic. Hopefully, Don Quixote will not
mistake the misting fans for windmills!
The 38th Annual Arizona Renaissance Festival is open Saturdays and Sundays NOW through
March 29, 10 am to 6 pm. The festival is one of the most interactive entertainment experiences
you’ll find, with amazing amusements and activities happening all around you! Enjoy non-stop
entertainment on 16 stages each event day, where every show features a unique blend of
comedy, music, and mischievous antics. You’ll witness dancing, circus performers, jousting
knights on horseback, mermaids, and much more! Sit back and relax or become a part of the
action as you are surrounded by costumed characters roaming the 50-acre festival village.
