Welcome to Shrewsbury, England 1575...the 17th year of Her Royal Majesty, Queen Elizabeth’s reign. The snow and cold have gone and Spring hath come...Huzzah! The Earl and Countess of Shrewsbury have planned a festival to celebrate the season.

Come one, come all goode lords and ladies, merchants, yeomen, players, musicians, and peasants. Let us present to you the Siouxland Renaissance Festival!
