The 2017 Renaissance Festival is a 4-day medieval amusement park, a 2 stage theater, a 5-acre circus, an
arts and crafts fair, a jousting tournament and a feast all rolled into one non-stop, day-long family
adventure.
Two stages featuring comedy acts, acrobats, medieval musicians, singers, dancers, storytellers, magicians
and puppeteers performing continuously for 7 hours each day. A tournament arena where skilled stunt
riders, outfitted in suits of armor, ride their horses into battle during three jousts each day. Hundreds of
costumed characters.
Our 5-acre village is filled with over 100 open-air, storybook shops and medieval tents. Crafts include:
clothing, armor-making, pottery, glass blowing, stained glass, elegant jewelry, and more.
Many artisans demonstrate of their handiwork throughout the day, using tools and techniques that have
been handed down through the centuries.
The Royal Kitchens serve a vast feast with giant roasted turkey drumsticks, steak-on-a-stake, pizza, bread
bowl stews, salads, and more. The Cottage Bakery, the Cappuccino Inn, and the Cottage Chocolate Shoppe
