I'm not performing at the festival this year, but I may dress up and head over to Billings to check it out.

Visitors can experience everything from epic battles to royal ceremonies, with activities and shows happening across nine stages throughout the weekend. One of the festival’s biggest draws is the return of full-contact jousting by The Order of Epona, where armored knights charge into thrilling medieval competition.

No Renaissance festival is complete without a feast, and guests at the Montana Ren Fest can dine on turkey legs, hearty medieval-style meals, sweet treats, and tavern favorites fit for kings and queens.

New to the festival in 2026 is the Hope Falls Vaulting Club, showcasing incredible strength, balance, and horsemanship.
