You can dress up to the era, or you can come as you are!   There are Turkey legs,

Bread Bowls filled with all kinds of deliciousness, and beverages of all sorts!   You

can stroll the festival while drinking champagne!  While you are at it, stroll on over to the joust and root for your favorite knight!

 

If you like to test your strength or your ability with knife throwing, the bow and arrow, or just test your brute strength, there are plenty opportunities for you here!

 

There are all types of shows to attend.   The doors open at 10 am and the cannon signals the close at 5 pm.   While you are there don't miss the Barely Balanced act, they are amazing!

Do wear comfortable shoes, because you will be walking the entire kingdom!  Don't carry alot, just a camera and some cash/visa will be great!  This way you are hands free and comfortable.

 

Have fun, be silly, and don't miss the Barely Balanced Act!  They are talented, amazing, and hilarious!   You can visit them on Facebook!
