Scarborough Renaissance Festival joust
After originally postponing its start date for a shortened season until the first weekend in May Scarborough Renaissance Festival, officials with Scarborough Renaissance Festival announced today (Friday, April 3), that the 2020 season has been cancelled.
This is the only time in its 40-year history the festival has been cancelled.
In a press release, officials said they had been “truly hopeful that the COVID-19 situation would subside in time to be able to open with the adjusted 6-week schedule,” they felt the decision to cancel the season entirely is “necessary to ensure the health and safety of staff, employees, participants, patrons and community.”
“The entire Scarborough Renaissance Festival organization is extremely disappointed in the cancellation of the 2020 season but plans to be back in 2021 bigger and better than ever to celebrate its 40th season and hopes to see everyone then,” the press release noted.
Information regarding previously-purchased tickets for admission, group events, special events —including wine and beer tasting events, the Mother’s Day Brunch and the Royal Ale Festival — will be available in the next few days and “will be disseminated as quickly as possible via direct communication with ticket purchasers, the Scarborough Renaissance Festival website, newsletters and social media,” the press release noted.

This is totally bullshit where’s the pride in letting the stra8 people shun us away from the gayberhood ,this is a step backwards I feel that it has gone from gay pride to gay hide parade. After all of the fighting for our rights gay bashing and everything we’ve endured through time to this I don’t think so .what next the Halloween street party wow this sucks I wont go to another pride parade until we can be proud again .I say don’t let this happen ,don’t allow these people to shun us away like we don’t exist .I’m done we’ve even allowed them to take over our clubs ,is there even a real GAY bar left in Dallas ? Anyway folks there you have it enjoy your not so proud gay parade.
Hi Santos Garcia. Pretty sure you meant this comment for the post regarding Dallas Pride being rescheduled, not Scarborough Renaissance Festival being canceled.
