When fall approaches and the weather on the Northshore starts to get a little cooler, my family and I start to look forward to the annual Louisiana Renaissance Festival. We love visiting the Royal Village of Albright only a short drive away from our home on the Northshore. The festival is held from 9:45 am to 6:00 pm in Hammond the first weekend in November to the second weekend in December. Costumes are encouraged but not required and every week there is a different theme. Check out their website for the theme of the week so that you and your family can match your attire to that week's theme. The cast do a fantastic job keeping you immersed in the experience. Your kids will be amazed at the sights and sounds of the 16th century. The atmosphere is truly magical and should not be missed if you live on the Northshore. We highly recommend that you and your family visit the Royal Village of Albright as my family as immensely enjoyed our times together at the Louisiana Renaissance Festival. You will find additional information about the Louisiana Renaissance Festival below. You can click here to visit their website for more details about their event.

The festival is open rain or shine and the village is mostly dirt and gravel and can become muddy when it rains. We recommend wearing comfortable shoes during your visit.
There are some experiences and shows that might not be appropriate for your whole family which are noted in the village. We recommend asking the cast if you have any concerns about the experience or show.
