Texas Craft Fair hosts first ‘Renaissance & Mythical Market’ in Livingston

LIVINGSTON, Texas (KTRE) - From dungeons and dragons to castles and swords, there was something for everyone at the Renaissance & Mythical Market in Livingston.

Jason McLelland is the owner of Texas Craft Fair in Livingston, and he hosts different events every weekend. This weekend, McLelland brought the wonder and mystery of the mythical world to 3300 U.S. 190.

“When we started this, we got a lot of questions. ‘Do you have to speak the king’s language?' So we wanted to add the mythical aspect as well. So if you’re a Dungeons and Dragons fan or a gaming fan, you can come out here and enjoy a lot of what’s going on,” said McLelland.

This is the first day of what McLelland hopes will turn into an even bigger event as it goes on. Over six vendors selling a variety of items lined the space, with a medieval torture show stealing the attention of people walking by.

“There’s a lot of these events that are outside of town, they’re hours away. We want to bring something to Livingston that’s free, that brings in all ages. We want to bring, as you see the performances behind us, we want to bring a mix of performances in. We’ll do some gaming and stuff like that too. Jousting tournaments, and September’s going to be a big deal,” said McLelland.

In September, McLelland says they’ll have a bigger budget to make the event better, and Saturday’s market was a way to showcase what’s to come.

“Even if you’re not a fan of the medieval or mythical, come on out because there’s a little bit for everybody,” said McLelland.

The Texas Craft Fair’s Renaissance and Mythical Market continues Sunday starting at 1 p.m., with more to come next weekend at the same time.
