Carolina Renaissance Festival & Artisan Marketplace

Description:

• Come to the festival to find yourself pleasantly trapped in a time warp. Encounter charming actors dressed in period costumes, selling their wares, chatting, enacting mock scenes from history and generally having a good time. Watch the street theater performances, pick up curios from the art and crafts market, and gasp in awe as the jousting tournament gets underway. Food flows freely at the event, with everyone digging in without worrying about anything. The event has burgeoned into a huge extravaganza over the years, with the venue being decorated with festive colors, pennants, lavish castles and humbler dwellings of the poor citizens of the time. Explore the fiery kitchens and rowdy pubs, hop onto one of the many rides, or try your medieval skills at the many contests held here. Want a wedding with a difference? Celebrate it here amid all the fanfare—you are bound to raise eyebrows! Visit the website for more details.
