October 10, 2023

From: American Heritage Festival

The 21st annual American Heritage Festival is a grand scale, highly interactive educational presentation of diverse civilian and military aspects of historic American life from Colonial Days through the 20th century as portrayed by a large and experienced cast of historical interpreters assembled from around the country.

We are the largest and most diverse educational living history event in the Western United States, with something of interest for everyone. We also feature Arizona's original and largest display and battle reenactment of the American Revolution. We invite school groups and homeschool families to come, learn and be inspired!

Included are reenactments, dramatic portrayals of both famous and everyday men, women, children, musicians, artisans, craftsmen, singers, colonists, pioneers, soldiers and more ranging from Early America, Colonial times, the American Revolution and the Founding Fathers through Frontier and Pioneer days, the Civil War, the Old West and on into the 20th century, the World Wars and beyond. An 18th century style church service in the fields based on the "Great Awakening" (Saturday only), speeches by famous Americans of the past, live historic music, an historic multi-century fashion show, historic medical demonstrations, interactive children's activities and of course battle reenactments are just a few of the many special features. Historic men, women and children are portrayed in diverse roles with something of interest to all. The American Heritage is family friendly and nonpolitical.
