LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) - Dust off your robes and spell books, the Renaissance is coming to Lubbock!

Lovers of all things enchanted will unite at the Hub City Renaissance Faire this Saturday. The magic begins at 11 a.m. at LHUCA at 511 Ave. K.

The theme for this year is Storybook; wearing costumes to the event is encouraged, but not required.

“Whether you are inspired by tales of red cloaked maidens and wolves, or magical beings and dashing heroes, your band of merry comrades will fit in at Hub City Renaissance Faire,” LHUCA stated in a release. “Don your cloak, fairy wings, and adventuring boots and prepare for a day of levity, creativity, and entertainment!”

The faire will also have live music from Flying Balkan Laikas, an Ethno-rock Balkan Dancing Band.

Admission to the fair is $5 for people 16 years old and up. Those 15 and under can get in for free.

Tickets can be purchased here.
