MD Renaissance Festival

The Maryland Renaissance Festival is a recreation of a 16th century English village. The village is named Revel Grove, and is set on a beautiful 25-acre wooded site. The village consists of craft and food booths, five pubs, ten major stages, a Jousting Arena and lots of games. I've always been a big fan of the Renaissance era.

There's a lot to do at the Festival. They have performers from all over country that perform on the many stages of the festival and the streets and the wooded area is filled with reenactors that amuse and bring happiness to all. You can watch jousting in full armor, listen to music and choral groups, marvel at the jugglers, become mystified by the magicians, and admire the comely wenches. The streets and stages are filled with nonstop entertainment.

But tell you the truth I go just for the giant turkey legs. It's more novelty then anything else. There's something about the savagery with eating with your hands that makes me feel like I'm reliving renaissance period.

Enough of my babbling and on to some of the pictures taken during the visit.
