Kingdom of Riverssance
Sioux City's annual renaissance festival is also run by Rivercade and is known as the Kingdom of Riverssance. It is not, however, held at the same time as the rest of the Rivercade festivities in the summer. Instead, Kingdom of Riverssance is usually held in early October at Riverside Park. The 2024 Kingdom of Riverssance Gathering is scheduled for October 4th and fifth.
