Renaissance Festivals
Tons O Fun
September 17, 2008

My family and I recently went to a renaissance festival in our area - The Minnesota Renaissance Festival. This is not our first, second or third time, but each time we go we have an amazing time. Each experience seems to top the last.

If you have yet to experience a ren fest, then I highly recommend checking out your local festival for tons O fun! With over 180 faires, there is probably one near you. It's fun for all ages. Entertainment, shopping, rides, royal parades, animals, reptiles, and some of the best variety of food name a few of the things to do at a ren fest.

You'll see all sorts of people dressed up and in character from pirates and wenches to fairies and gothic warriors -- entertainment all in itself!

Whilst there, we enjoyed jousting, fire eaters, pithy comedy with Puke n Snot, belly dancing, Irish dancing, music, juggling and knife throwing.

We can't wait for next year and the choice of which themed weekend to go to: Highland Fling, Royal Ale Fest, Irish Heritage (this years choice), Italian Carnivale... and more.

Get ye to a Renaissance Festival!
