Great event to start off autumn season! Lots of vendors that sell handcrafted goods, food, drinks, entertainment, etc. However this particular Ren. Fair is seasonal starting late-Sept until Mid-Nov.

Nikki LivingstonNovember 9, 2013Skip the lines and buy your tickets online! If turkey legs aren't your thing, they have an amazing roasted chicken with mashed potatoes for a reasonable price. $1 pickles are my favorite snack here.Upvote7Downvote
Josh GodwinNovember 29, 2015It was fun and seeing all the costumes was cool. Wish they had more games, but the games I played were fun. You could actually shoot a guy with a paintball gun. The jousting show was spectacular.Upvote2Downvote- Alex MillsNovember 24, 2015Bread Bowls and Roasted Corn! Pretty much any of the food taste good. Most of the shows are great, although, Dead Bob needs new material, his show is getting old. Hannibal the Liar is awesome BTW.Upvote1Downvote
MitchOctober 23, 2017Fun festival with plenty of stuff to do for kids. Food is very reasonably priced. The jousting was particularly fun.UpvoteDownvote
Brandon CaudleOctober 5, 2013Barely Balanced and the Tortuga Twins are our favorite shows to come see. Zilch the Torysteller is always a great time as well!Upvote1Downvote
Sir JeffersonOctober 5, 2013Very atmospheric place. Bring out your inner child and leave your daily grumpies at home.

Mel JayOctober 18, 2014Beerfest!!! The food here is incredible . . . A turkey leg or a bread bowl of soup soothes the soul!UpvoteDownvote- Hannah HawksworthOctober 27, 2012A lot of fun to walk around and see all the costumes and events going on. People get really into the renaissance festival!UpvoteDownvote
Mary SmithNovember 12, 2012Bring in your own munchies in your bag or purse (which is officially not allowed) so you can spend more money on fair fun instead of nasty fair food. (Works for alcohol too.)Upvote1Downvote
Karen McCabeOctober 22, 2012So much fun! Only downfall is it cost twenty dollars to get in and every act you see is going to hit you up for money.UpvoteDownvote
Allison HamOctober 14, 2013The Ded Bob show is the best adult show there, can't miss it! Not appropriate for children though!UpvoteDownvote

Matthew ComerOctober 26, 2013All of the vendors are cash-only. They do provide ATMs in certain places.UpvoteDownvote
Eric WordenOctober 5, 2013I think you need to show up at about 4 o'clock in the morning to not have to wait in line for 2 hours to get inUpvoteDownvote
Brian DuncanOctober 5, 2013Buy your tickets online and walk right in. The ticket line is 2-4 hours. Ridiculous.UpvoteDownvote
Tom CaddooNovember 11, 2012Plan for a lot of traffic on the weekends toward the end; especially if it is warm.Upvote3Downvote
