The pageantry of a 16th century village is evident in the wide variety of activities.  Entertainment is not only featured on seventeen stages, but in the lanes and on an interactive level with the patrons.  From peasants to royalty, the people of the village of Hollygrove visit entertain guests and provide a day to remember!  Highlights include the thrilling full contact joust with armored knights and horses, the intensity of the Human Combat Chess Match and the hilarity of acts like the Washing Well Wenches and Ded Bob.

Music fills the air with Crannog and other talented bands.  The Realm is filled with amazing artisans who offer their unique wares and often share their skills in craft demonstrations.  Beautiful glassware, crafted leather, exotic jewelry and Renaissance clothing are just a few examples of the masterpieces that can be found in the marketplace.

Visitors are advised to skip breakfast and save their appetite for the fresh baked goods, soup in a bread bowl, Scotch eggs, apple dumplings and of course, the famous turkey legs that are cooked over an open flame.  The array of foods is overwhelming and sure to satisfy any cravings!  It is truly fun for the whole family since the Renaissance Festival also offers games, human-powered rides, and a children’s realm that features a castle playscape as well as free activities for younger visitors.
