This is the 40th year of the Kansas City Renaissance Festival.

The festival has outdone itself with a lot of new food items on the menu.

They still sell turkey legs, and during a year of the festival, an estimated 50,000 turkey legs will be sold, officials said.

The Kansas City Renaissance Festival will open on Labor Day, and it runs for six weekends, Sept. 3 to Oct. 16, at 126th and State Avenue.
