Texas Renaissance Festival School Days

After careful consideration with educators, parents, and Festival participants, we have made the difficult decision to cancel School Days for this season.

We will continue to offer some of our academic contests through online submissions. Essay, poetry, and costume building events will be open for competitive submissions; art will still be received by mail to be judged for medals, with the addition of photography to the art slate (photography to be submitted digitally).

Recorded videos of musical and theatrical performances will be accepted for exhibition only, for sharing on the TRF social media platforms. Trebuchet and journalism will not be held.

Details of all of these adapted contests will be available here on the School Days website pages by September 4.

We hope that educators will find opportunities to share the beauty and history of the Renaissance period with their students, even amid this time of change, and we look forward to seeing the eager faces of students back in our fair village in 2021.
