While you are there, walk on down to Trinity church on Pine street. We are having an all day craft fair, bake sale, food sale, white elephant sale. On track to raise $1,000,000 for community outreach. Great place to Christmas shop. Also a kid's fair to entertain the little ones.

The answer I want to answer is not there. lol
I would go, but it would be too hard to go without Hubby. He and I were married at the Ren. Festival in 2003. WOW! Hard to believe it's almost been 6 years since then! hehe
We try to make it over there every year, for our anniversary, but this year he's at AIT 500+ miles away. *sigh*
I really do enjoy the festivities there!
All those that go, have a great time!

I still am not clear about what pixies and fairies, bellydancers, and trolls have to do with the Renaissance. Also, seeing some of our more prominent citizens wearing green leotards and pointed toed slippers can be a disturbing sight.

LOL, i've questioned that myself, but they sure are fun to watch .....and some of the costumes are very imaginative.

There's nothing quite like the sound of ones tummy flying up and slapping ones own chin.

Unless it's the sound of someones belly flying around and hitting their back.

The people in the Renaissance era placed great belief in pixies, fairies and trolls. As for bellydancers, during the Renaissance people from the mid-East often visited the Florence, Italy area and with them came bellydancers, which was a favorite form of entertainment.
Back years ago, there were Trekkies that would come in their "uniforms" and wander around. The powers-that-be put a stop to that.... it had nothing to do with the Renaissance. Seems the Trekkies were confusing Renaissance with fantasy.
I particularly like the guy who dresses as the troll (full body makeup, prosthetic nose, fur garment, etc) and wanders around. He is great.
