    Take enough cash! Parking is free, vendors take credit cards, food & drink stands don't. ATM service was out all day. Ticket booth lady said it happened last year too.

    Great Ren Faire close to Austin. A bit on the small side but in only a few years operating they've delivered a quality product!

    This faire is still on its infancy. Clearly meant to be long term. The Celtic Fest was not very Celtic. It was all about the music, which was rock with fiddle thrown on every now & again.

    Sherwood is the best Renaissance festival in Texas in my opinion. Camping here is great and the clans know how to party!

    Make sure to stop by Naughty Lows for some food. They have a crew of pirates serving up some uncommon food.

    Don't wear sandals. It's wooded and closed toe shoes are best.

    Mmm, Mead… the fare is otherwise mediocre at best.
