Lift Up Your Cares!
I headed out to the Texas Renaissance Festival for what I believe was my fifteenth year on October 14th. To be entirely honest, there have been too many bottles of mead between my first visit and my most recent one to recall just how many times I’ve gone to this festival. I only had one day to spend at the festival this year, so I made the most of it.
I started things off with a visit to the Brigadoon Brewery where I purchased a Black Plague beer. I then took my seat for the first show that I see every year: The Clan Tynker Family Circus. As always, Clan Tynker brought joy to my heart as I forgot my worries for just a little bit while being entertained by them. I snagged a bunch of stickers at the end of the show and then made my way to the Magic Garden where I chilled out for awhile. Then I went to the Pirate Museum where they added new exhibits and attractions.
Next, I made my way to the Agora to dine on a gyro, drink some mead, and watch the wonderful dancers of Global Dance Theatre. The lovely dancers showed everybody their jupkas and the band was amazing as always. Next to Clan Tynker, Global Dance Theatre is one of my favorite shows.
I spent the rest of the afternoon drinking a little bit too much, eating a little bit too much, and generally having a good time. I caught a few other shows and visited a number of vendors as well. It was another fine weekend at the Texas Renaissance Festival and I cannot wait to go back next year!
If you’ve never been to the Texas Renaissance Festival, I highly recommend it. As I already mentioned, I’ve been going to this event for at least fifteen or so years and have loved it every time. It really is a great place to visit to get a break from the real world. This was my first year to dress in garb for the festival, and I plan on doing so again next year. If you attend the festival, I recommend that you dress up as well.
Thanks for checking out my post! See you again real soon!
