A Most Successful Event!

The consensus of opinion is that the 16th Annual Renaissance Euro Fest was "Grand", as stated by spectators, participants and sponsors. The weather was delightful, which brought out over 180 entries, counting those in The Legends of the Interstate. The attendance was estimated at over 15,000 and we give a big thank you to all those that shared their passions that many others enjoyed during the day.

The Renaissance Euro Fest has grown significantly in terms of attendance, participants, and uniqueness of entries! It is a top shelf event hosted in a quality environment at the center of one of our countries' finest communities. Ridgeland, MS. It is truly a win-win for all!
