Renaissance ArtsFaire

The Renaissance ArtsFaire is a weekend arts festival held at Young Park in Las Cruces, New Mexico, organized by the Doña Ana Arts Council. It is the largest juried art show in southern New Mexico, drawing more than 150 artists and craftspeople who sell ceramics, jewelry, textiles, sculpture, and other work. The park takes on a Renaissance theme for the event, with costumed characters roaming the grounds and entertainment that includes live music, theater, and dance, along with food vendors and a beer and wine garden. Activities for children are offered as well. Admission is charged at the gate, and street and lot parking is available near the park.
