Renaissance Fairs

If you've never experienced a Renaissance Faire, you really owe it to yourself to give one a try. The odds are, you'll be back, again and again. The dash and gusto of the period combine with colorful costumes and a myriad of dialects to create an atmosphere that is truly unique. From Kings and Queens to filthy beggars and bawdy wenches, a full range of medieval characters abound. The air is redolent with the fragrance of dozens of different foodstuffs, and around each corner a live performance awaits to capture your attention. And if you value fine craftsmanship, you would be hard-pressed to find a greater concentration of varied and unique artisans, producing jewelry, glassware, weaponry, clothing, sculpture, sketches and so on, ad infinitum. The Lords, Ladies, Knights and Wizards all beckon -- "Come Make Merry with Us!!"
