Step back in time to the days of King Arthur and enjoy what’s billed as the ‘greatest party since Camelot’ at the Arizona Renaissance Faire. This medieval fantasy park features a 12-stage theatre, an outdoor circus, daily jousting tournaments and an incredible variety of foods and arts and crafts. The Faire typically runs from February through March and is conveniently located just east of Apache Junction on US Highway 60.

There are nearly thirty public parks in Peoria. While the majority of these are less then ten acres in size, Peoria is also home to Lake Pleasant Regional Park, covering over 23,000 acres and offering residents and visitors a great range of outdoor activities to enjoy.
