During the medieval times, vendors brought their wares, along with their families, in wooden carts the base of the city’s walls for Festival Days. They set up a temporary shelter where their families slept, ate and played. Guildsmen worked at their crafts whenever business was light, and everyone sold hard, shouting their wares at passersby. Festival days were a joyous gathering of people, a bustling social event, full of color, music, laughter, and endless commotion.

The festival known as the Utah Midsummer Renaissance Faire, follows this tradition and has been a long-standing festival of fun, excitement, and great memories for over 40 years. People continue to gather from around the world to Cedar City, Utah to be a part of these festivities every Summer.
