2nd Annual Mid-South Renaissance Faire

From 2nd Annual Mid-South Renaissance Faire Website:

It is the summer of 1576 and the hot crowded city of London has prompted the nobles to visit the wide open spaces of Englands hills and fields. Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth I, is on progress through the countryside. The Queens entourage has stopped in the quaint little Shire of Shelby for some much needed relaxation. The local villagers, wanting to welcome their beloved Queen, have chosen to hold a festival in her honor. They have persuaded only the finest in local and foreign merchants to make camp and sell their wares. Join us in the Queens entertainment and revelry as we celebrate Her Majestys visit. Shout Huzzah as the jousters enter into combat, join musicians in a merry song, test yourself with games of skill and chance, find familiar and exotic foods, join the nobles in courtly dance, pillage with the pirates, laugh at our fools, be amazed by our magicians and, most importantly, let fun abound in The Shire of Shelby!

WHAT IS A RENAISSANCE FAIRE!?: A renaissance faire is a public family-friendly outdoor gathering that emulates the Renaissance historical period for the amusement of its guests. Our faires theme will be the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. Come to the faire and travel back in time to the Elizabeth era. Learn Elizabethan dances, be knighted by the Queen herself, eat a giant turkey leg, browse the merchant rows, enjoy the performers, sail the seas with the Mid-South Buccaneers, and of course, cheer on your favorite jouster on horseback. Hip Hip! Huzzah! Hip Hip! Huzzah!
