Jousting, Archery, Sword Fights, Great Food! 51st Annual Renaissance Fair! April 6- May 19 @socal_ren_faire

Imagine taking a step back in time where chivalry and knights still exist!  Learn the art of fencing and archery and dine on a turkey leg while watching "wenches" and "scoundrels" stroll along their merry way. 

I have been attending "Faire" for 15 years now.  I enjoy getting away from the technology and fast pace life that we live in to enjoy a day with little worries of years long ago.  Yes, I do dress up every year.  My husband goes for the tankards of Grog(beer) and I love the mead(honey wine).  The food is varied and yummy and big portioned! 

There is something for everyone here! Shopping, eating, shows, games and more! The food cannot be beat with artichokes, turkey legs and yummy desserts! Bring your appetite!

While costumes are not mandatory, my children and yours will get a kick out of seeing Mom and Dad dress the part along side them.  There are plenty of places there to buy or rent your "garb".  If you have an old pirate costume laying around from past Halloweens, bring it with you!  Your daughters princess costumes are a favorite among the children.

Children love dressing up and playing pretend.  Why not join them in a day of revelry?  They will love trying their hand at archery and sword-fighting!  The jousting show is better than some of the local shows you may have been to.  Expert face-painters and henna artists are waiting to transform all who wish to become a piece of art.

The more you get into "character"(any character) the more fun you have! By the end of the day, you will be talking in accents and loosening your belt from all the great food and fun that you had.
