The Renaissance Jamboree festival is back with fun, new offerings!

For over 44 years, residents from all over Northeast PA have gathered and celebrated Spring’s return at the annual Renaissance Jamboree in downtown Bloomsburg.  This year, the Renaissance committee is happy to announce a human hamster wheel and the Bloomsburg Children’s Museum Xscape room!  Kinetic Kreations brings the first ever human powered shaved ice machine to the festival.  Walk the wheel to shave the ice for your snow cone!  The Bloomsburg Children’s Museum is partnering with Can U Xscape to present a unique experience in front of the Can U Xcape location on Main Street. The escape room will be a small escape challenge under a canopy. The theme is “hot seat” and it’s a quick turnaround challenge taking about two minutes so there is no need to sign up in advance.

Festival highlights include the return of the popular band, Joyous, Bloomsburg Theatre Ensemble’s Theater in the Classroom performance of “Discovering Frederick Douglass”, and a magic show and a balloon artist at the children’s stage at Main and Jefferson Avenue.  There will be belly dancers, martial artists, dancing exhibitions and a drum circle and Jazz performance by students from Commonwealth University-Bloomsburg at the Main and Market Street stage.  There will be a return of the baby goat petting zoo this year brought by the Bloomsburg Pool committee.

The festival will be filled with culinary delights – old and new.  This year we welcome Moyer’s BBQ, Bellum’s Bubble Waffles, JoJo’s Scoops and Sprinkles, Finley’s Main Squeeze, The Wandering Brewtique and Bill’s Soda Stand.

Parking will be at the West end parking lot of the Bloomsburg Fairgrounds. Enter through the Bloomsburg Fairgrounds Archway off of McClure Boulevard and look for the Renaissance Jamboree signs. Two free shuttle buses (one is handicapped accessible) will run in a continuous loop from the fairgrounds to the downtown for the festival.
