As a seasoned Renaissance Festival attendee for over 20 years and in four states, this festival was miserable. The booths are humdrum; the entertainment characterless and the food exorbitant. It should be held in November or December due to the incredible heat and dust. A lady in waiting, donned in the full regal dress, needed to get rescued by paramedics as it was so unbearably hot and void of shade. No desire to return again.
