Visual Artisans Realm raises arts of the Village Renaissance Faire to level of its Birds of Prey, Weapons of War & Flying Dragons this Sept

The Village Renaissance Faire has done it again. Just when the visitors, who have been returning year after year for 15 years, from townships, counties, and states far and wide, thought the faire with a cause could get no better they have done it again. This year, they have added a Visual Artisans Show from Bucks and New Jersey, an additional living history demonstration society from Philadelphia, and more professional talents from Lancaster county, to the already impressive cast of aerialists, flying birds, firebreathers, knights, and more. The faire truly has something for everyone, as event he wee ones have free crafts, interactive play areas, inflatables, and animals activities.
The Fine Artisans will be sure to appreciate an indoor gallery that will great them shortly as they enter the main building. While listening to music from Recordante, Jack & Brenda, and Betsy Chapman, immediately upon enter the covered entrance pavilion, local youthful artists work of pressed tin will greet them on their left, and their center and right will be filled with the works of art from 5 Gallery East, Judith Quate, D. Gifford and others. The artists will not only exhibit but involve and educate our guests.
Upon exhibiting the pavilion music and theatre will fill the aire, as once steps upon the grounds. The wee ones will enjoy games that allow them to throw fits, shoot chickens from giant sling shots, or climb jacobs ladder as the parents walk to the Living History Area which has doubled in size, through a partnership between local Buckland cross and Philadelphia Bakhail. Learn the fine living arts, crafts, and combat from dozens of demonstrators. And for those who are so willing, you can even become part of the faire, and the final joust if you partake in the Faire Quest which starts right here in the Living History area.
Although we have focused on these additions, they are neither the only new items, nor all of the faire. New performers include the Mad Mechanicals who put the Shake in Shakespeare, a stiltwalker, and Pirates Perch Pitch as well as an entire band of pirates (for THIS year only), join our already impressive cast of aerialist, flying birds of prey, living chess, jousting fire breathers, dancers, madrigals, ponies, carriage rides, petting zoos, inflatables, free crafts, games and more. Dont worry, you can stay all day, or all weekend, as there are enough shows to fill both days, and enough food merchants so you dont have to eat the same food twice, whether you want traditional fair food or turkey legs.
The Village Faire remains, the only authentic Faire, that not only gives you more, but gives even more back to community, all for just $5. You will feel good about the faire even before you realize you admission all supports the library.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
