I have performed at the Texas Ren Fest for over 20 years. Ren Fest is considered an amusement park.
If memory serves, It is unlawful for a handgun license holder to carry a handgun on the premises of: •An amusement park.

A bar, any court, any school or college, an amusement park, nursing home, hospital, place of worship, race track, polling place on a day of an election, airport, and prison. And if you have a concealed carry permit and become intoxicated, you are breaking the law.

Now, what do you think goes on at the Texas Renaissance Festival? Drinking, dancing and spending money. That is why they don't want firearms.
I Open Carry at Texas Renaissance Festival!
An amusement park must... (46.035(f)(1))
be a permanent indoor or outdoor facility
have rides
be in a county with a population of more than one million
encompass at least 75 acres
be inclosed with access only through controlled entries
be open to the public for more than 120 days a year
have security guards on premises at all times

Does the festival meet those requirements?

Also, if the amusement park doesn't want CHL's to carry, they MUST post 30.06 (46.035(i))
