All About Us
The Illinois Renaissance Festival was established in 2003.
The Festival is a division of Prairie Players Theatre Academy, Inc.
a nonprofit 501(c3) performing arts organization. Through the fundraising efforts
of the Festival, we will be able to continue our programs, productions, workshops,
touring company and daily operations. Long term annual fundraising will enable the
Academy to purchase equipment and a much needed facility.
The Festival provides an atmosphere of olde world experience with merchants selling their handmade wares, exotic foods to taste, impromptu performances, dancing and costumed entertainers performing all day long. The School Visits include entertainerment and historical presentations by re-enachment actors, performers, and musicians. Teacher packets of information are provided prior to the school visit. These packets of contain lesson plans, activities, and resource to better prepare their students for the experience of attending the Illinois Renaissance Festival. This service is free. The Illinois Renaissance Festival actively seeks out local and national period themed entertainers and artisans to be included in our Festival.
