PLEASE NOTE OUR POLICY HAS CHANGED, AND TRF WILL NO LONGER BE ISSUING MEDIA PASSES TO SAME-DAY REQUESTERS. ALL PASS REQUESTS MUST BE MADE IN ADVANCE, APPROVED, AND SCHEDULED.

Media Visits During Festival Days Policy for Texas Renaissance Festival

Thank you for your interest in covering the Texas Renaissance Festival. Please note that our media visit policies have recently changed:

  1. Videography: No videography is allowed without a TRF marketing liaison present. All videographers must be accompanied by a member of our marketing team.

  2. Media Shifts: Each festival day includes a maximum of six media shifts, available on a first-come, first-served basis. Each shift lasts three hours:

    • 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM
    • 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM
    • 4:00 PM - 7:00 PM

    Please note that we will only allow two shifts per media team per weekend. We recommend getting on the schedule as early as possible, and you will need to provide the first and last names, as well as email addresses, for all intended media guests, including crew.

  3. Check-In Requirement: All media personnel, whether requiring a liaison or not, must check in at the media center located at the front entrance of the park.

  4. Photographers: If you are solely capturing still images, you do not require a liaison. We can simply add you or your photographer to our Expected Media List, allowing you the freedom to explore the park.

  5. Press Passes: We are happy to provide a press pass, and if necessary, a preferred parking pass. Please note that parking passes must be requested in advance, and an email address must be provided for coordination.

Please let us know which weekend you are hoping to attend, and we look forward to working with you!


Media Visits on Non-Festival Days Policy for Texas Renaissance Festival

Thank you for your interest in covering the Texas Renaissance Festival during non-festival days. Please note our media visit policies for these occasions:

  1. Videography: All videography must be coordinated with a TRF marketing liaison. A member of our marketing team will need to be present during all videography sessions.

  2. Scheduling: To schedule segments and interviews on non-festival days, we require at least one week's notice. While requests can be sent at any time, coverage hours are from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Exceptions can be negotiated if necessary.

  3. Check-In Requirement: All media personnel must check in at the main office, as the main gates are usually locked. This helps us coordinate and facilitate your visit effectively.

  4. Interviews: If you wish to conduct interviews, please provide a list of topics and the individuals you would like to interview in advance. This will help us arrange the necessary participants.

  5. Press Passes: We are happy to provide a press pass for your team. Please let us know in advance if you will need any special accommodations or access.

Please reach out with your proposed dates and any additional information, and we look forward to collaborating with you!


Media Interaction with Performers and Vendors Policy

Thank you for your interest in covering the Texas Renaissance Festival. Please note that our performers, vendor shops, and concessions are commonly independently run businesses. To facilitate any interactions with these shops and attractions, we require advance coordination.

If media representatives desire to engage with performers, vendors, or concessions, please inform us well in advance. This allows us to accommodate your requests and ensure a smooth experience for all parties involved.

Thank you for your understanding, and we look forward to working together!
