Saturdays and Sundays, 10am - 5:30pm. From the website: "The Carolina Renaissance Festival is a medieval amusement park, a 9-stage theater, a 20-acre circus, an arts and crafts fair, a jousting tournament and a feast -- all rolled into one non-stop, day-long family adventure!"
Rain or shine. No pets. Free parking. Kids under 5
free.
Editor's Note: We look
forward to the Carolina Renaissance Festival every year - it is
one of our favorite annual family outings, and well worth the
drive. The fair is a renaissance village featuring
physical buildings and structures that are permanent year-round,
but used just for the Festival during Festival season.
(It's not an empty field, it's a reproduction medieval village
with trees, grass, shady areas, buildings, stages, all enclosed,
with an area encompassing 20 acres.) When arriving at the
gates, visitors feel as though they are entering a medieval
town; everyone is dressed in period clothing and acting various
roles from knights to knaves, fairies to jugglers, ladies in
waiting to falconers. Watch knights on horseback jousting;
see medieval jugglers and jokesters; experience a falconer show;
enjoy minstrels and merriment; try your hand at archery; ride a
camel; give the Jacob's Ladder a whirl; enjoy live music and
comedy; greet the strange and fascinating walking tree; see the
royal procession headed by the reigning King & Queen in full
royal regalia . . So much fun for the whole family! Dress up in
period clothing (not required) and join in the fun! Both
children and adults love it.
