The Original Renaissance Pleasure Faire is celebrating their 52nd season in Irwindale from April 5th to May 18th. Head over to the Santa Fe Dam Recreational Area any weekend from 10am until 7pm. I walked alongside elves, wizards, kings, queens and gypsys and felt as if I was really in this historic period.
I saw a variety of stage shows and activities such as knife and axe throwing, mazes, swings and archery. I'll always remember the laughs of my friends as I struggled to lift the bow and missed the target every time. However, most of my time was spent trying to finish a 1/4lb turkey leg from one of the many food vendors and gawking over all the handcrafted jewelry. Vendors also offer hair braiding, face painting, henna body art, costume rentals and so much more.
This was surely a day to remember. Don't miss out! Visit http://www.renfair.com/socal/ to buy your tickets.
