Michael HahnOctober 7, 2014Turkey legs are the best so grab a leg and something to wash it down with, find a show to watch then take a seat and prepare for some fun.Upvoted Sep 1
Michael McMillanNovember 16, 2013AMAZING! I never thought it would be a big as it is! Plan to spend the entire day here and you will only see a small percentage of it!
Check out Rose the Candlemaker. Blue and pink shop in the Narrows. They are making Waxed Roses.
Where a Pair of comfortable shoes take your time and enjoy you'll see more than one thing all over the place.
Wonderful place! So much to see and do. Definitely see a Johnny Phoenix show and The Tortuga Twins!
Stephanie BenecheSeptember 30, 2013Lots of strange groups of people, some in full furry outfits (really craving an excuse to wear them)and some with just tails and some regular nerdy people. Too many kids. I ate crocodile meat.
Maureen MacDonaldOctober 2, 2011A must for those that are looking for that unique fountain, sculpture or wine holders all created by John Lange...(dare I say a relative :-) )!!!
Terry KehoeAugust 10, 2012Check out the Meat Pies!!! They finally have a permanent location, in the Narrows. Also a good location for "Royalty watching"
Jessie WSeptember 30, 2012Have a stuffed popover and an apple dumpling with cinnamon ice cream. My top two food faves!
Julie PetersonAugust 19, 2012Don't forget to visit Twig the Fairy! Also the Mermaid Cove is new this year, be sure to check it out.
Scott RichardsonSeptember 3, 2013I stayed longer than any of my past visits. Ziltch the tory steller, snot & puke are my faves.- Beer cheese soup, Johnny Phoenix, mead, and so many great people!
Meghan KaneSeptember 16, 2012The stone-ware steins are not only good for beer at the festival but make great hot chocolate mugs for winter!
Patrick OrloppSeptember 26, 2011If you don't wait around for The Danger Committee's "Danger Show" you are a schumck. Also, check out the mocassin booth. INSANE boots
Watch out for dry, windy days. "FestDust" gets everywhere!! And pickles are the best. $1 for a giant, cold, kosher dill!
Erik GibertiSeptember 16, 2012Unless your 6' or taller, be early for the jousting or you'll be standing in the back where it's difficult to see.
StaceySeptember 3, 2012Really enjoy the incense sticks from wood willow and whatnots. The Musk is the best
The frozen lemonade is a delicious, refreshing godsend on hot days.- Tortuga Twins, Feast of Fantasy, Danger Committee
Ashley NetzloffOctober 5, 2011See Cale the Juggler! He's very talented and very handsome. He's also a very good friend
Meghan McInernyAugust 29, 2009Check out The Secret Garden. A sweet little walk through the woods with fairy houses along the way. (Bonus: it's one of the few free things here.)
The florentine ice is a great treat on a hot day!
Check out shop #718, great candles, waxed roses and SMELLY BEARS!
Tina JohnsonSeptember 18, 2011Very dusty, bring cup with a lid! Free fairydust refills for your wands or necklace!- Donna BartolOctober 1, 2011See the Tortuga Twins and The Danger Committee- family (and adult) fun guaranteed!
Samma JohnsonAugust 24, 2013Expensive booths but bargains to be found. Nothing particularly unique. Danger Committee was amazingly funny!
Traffic hurting Attendence. 😂😂😂😂2 hours to go 6 miles. Need to organize some park and rides!!!
Make sure you say hi to Bitto Behavin, the Gnome of the Relm!
