Great Adventures Around the World | A Renaissance Adventure in Maryland

King Henry VIII and his Royal Court would like to invite you to the Renaissance Festival in Crownsville, Maryland. Wenches, of course, are welcome. The first festival took place in 1977 and has since become the second largest in the United States. This fun and exciting event has something for everyone…adventure awaits you around every corner! Whether you want to shop for crafts, watch a jousting match, learn to throw knives or axes, learn how to juggle, enjoy a magic show or gnaw on a turkey leg…trust me, you will find something to entice you. 

This yearly festival attracts thousands of tourists and tour groups from around the world and has TWICE been recognized as one of the 100 best events in North America. For many people, the Renaissance Festival has become a tradition. It is an escape; a way to leave behind the hassles of the 21^st Century and enter a world where computers, traffic, and hectic schedules don’t exist (sounds heavenly, doesn’t it!?).

Children REALLY LOVE the Renaissance Festival! Can you think of a better place to let their imaginations run wild? There are so many events and activities for kids it can be difficult to figure out what to do first! Pony rides, juggling school, face painting, Irish dancing, magic shows, super slides and much, much more!     There are also special children events planned such as the Princess & Pirate Party Weekend and the Pirate Adventure Weekend. Your little kiddie can also participate in a Children’s Knighting Ceremony. That is, of course, if he promises to serve his King and Queen….otherwise known as his parents!

The Maryland Renaissance Festival has become the region’s premier event. Set on 25 acres of beautiful wooded land the festival opens in late August and ends in late October. It is open rain or shine and has over 80 acres of parking available. Adult tickets cost $15 to $18 and the price of a child’s ticket is $8.00 (children under the age of 6 are free). There are also special group packages available that will save you some money. 

If you are looking for a great adventure that will also take you back in time…then look no further. The Maryland Renaissance Festival has been around for 31 years and keeps getting better! Oh…and one more thing. You can now get married at the festival! Wedding ceremonies will be scheduled to take place at the Renaissance Chapel between September 6^th and October 19^th.  One note, you must be dressed in Renaissance Costumes in order to use the facilities….and don’t worry, a wench playing a harpsichord is available to provide your wedding music.
