Heroes and Villains Weekend at the Texas Renaissance Festival

On Saturday, November 10 and Sunday, November 11 festival patrons assembled the mightiest heroes and heroines and gathered the darkest villains and vixens at the Texas Renaissance Festival for Heroes and Villains Weekend presented by Papa John’s Houston.

Festival-goers enjoyed showing off their heroic finery in the costume contest and proved their worth in a gyro eating competition. The joyous weekend celebration of great deeds and dastardly doings included volunteers from ASL Faires who joined the festivities to interpret live shows for the hearing impaired, providing a full festival experience.
