• Consumption/Use of Legal Marijuana

  To protect our liquor license, the Ohio Renaissance Festival strictly prohibits the consumption of any marijuana products on festival grounds, including smoking, vaping, edibles, and other methods. This policy is in compliance with state regulations, and violation may result in removal from the festival.

  We respect personal choices but must enforce this rule to ensure the festival’s continued good standing with the state liquor board.

  Many of our vendors and booths have the ability to take card, however, the cellular signal on grounds can be weak during busy times so we suggest brining cash as a backup.
