What: The wildly authentic pleasures and colorful pageantry of a lusty Elizabethan country fair are brought to vivid life by the Heart of the Forest Renaissance Faire, bursting with high spirits and ancient seasonal traditions. All the Faire’s a stage! Costumed players perform at theatres, in the shady lanes and byways, and hawk their wares from market stalls filled with fine handmade crafts.
A thrilling spectacle of fully-armored jousters features New Riders of the Golden Age, vying for the pleasure of the Royal Court twice daily in the tournament lists.
Intriguing tastes from faraway places and newly explored lands in this Age of Exploration and Discovery, or good hearty English foods– both are complemented by fine wines and robust English ales.
A series of exciting competitions are open to faire visitors, involving all ages in the arts, skills and entertainments of glorious Elizabethan England.
