Maryland Ren Faire Welcomes Jousting and Meat on a Stick
Hear ye, hear ye! Time to break out your floral headdress and blouson-sleeved coats, Jaunted readers; 'tis the season for Ren Faire. For a 33rd season, Crownsville, Maryland celebrates everything from jousting to archery at their annual Renaissance Festival. The merry event will be held every weekend, rain or shine, through October 25th, with a full scroll of activities that will take Renaissance enthusiasts back to a time when knights ruled the roost.
Before you don an epic costume and get your Robin Hood on, the official website reminds patrons that no costume or real weapons are allowed by guests. 'Tis a family-friendly event, after all. At the gate, an adult ticket will run you 18 ducats—er, dollars*—while a two-day pass can be purchased for $28. Wee lads and lasses the age of six and under are admitted for free. You also have the option of purchasing a cleverly-titled "Fairever Pass," which is good for the entire festival, will include your photograph, and grants you access to a private entrance to Revel Grove, where the event is being held.
Logistics aside, there is a host of jolly entertainment for you to partake in once you arrive at Revel Grove. Dance to the rollicking sounds of Celtic band Barleyjuice, watch the bawdy bilingual duo The Interpreters perform a comedy act, or catch a stage rendition of Don Quixote, in addition to watching artisans handcraft jewelry and woodwork, or eating renaissance-themed food like a knave sandwich or sausage on a stick. Fear not, vegetarians, there are plenty of options for you as well.
For a full calendar of events, information, and a traffic-beating route, visit the Maryland Renaissance Festival website, and let the merriment commence.
