St Joseph, MO
Our Location
Nestled in St. Joseph, Missouri—just an hour north of Kansas City—the beautiful Castle Bridge Event Center serves as the heart of Bluffwoods. Each festival season, these grounds transform into an enchanting medieval realm.
Our unique location allows us to offer an experience unlike any other, featuring a huge, air-conditioned indoor tavern and food hall, providing a comfortable escape from the elements. The sprawling grounds are constantly evolving, with a dedicated jousting arena, covered stages for captivating performances, and a large settlement for our SCA and Viking guilds.
As you explore, you'll discover a bustling marketplace with over 60 artisan vendors and find yourself drawn into our immersive story of warring princes and magical creatures.
We are proud to call the Castle Bridge Event Center our home and look forward to welcoming you to the magic.
The jousting arena, framed by rustic wooden fencing and surrounded by eager spectators, becomes the stage for thrilling clashes of steel and horsemanship.
Nearby, the Bardzebo invites festival goers to gather around storytellers, musicians, and performers who bring history and legend to life beneath famed pavilions.
The landlocked pirate ship, Bilgwater, hosts the Scurvy Stage, a lively hub for sea shanties and rollicking tunes.
Throughout the grounds, rows of colorful market stalls offer handcrafted wares, while shaded areas and open meadows offer feasting, merriment, and impromptu performances. Castle Bridge is more than just a venue—it’s the gateway to another era, where the Bluffwoods Renaissance Festival thrives in a setting built for adventure.
