Hunter Moon - The Riverssance Faire

  • Village Children

  • Gallant Knights

  • Fairies

Family Bonding, a Celebration of Music and Dance!

 

Some tribes called this Moon the Hunter's Moon, as it was the time to go hunting in preparation for winter.   We celebrate the final days of Autumn, the warmth of the hearth, family bonding, and a celebration of music and dance! 

 

Historical reenactments, delicious food, - a full-fledged Renaissance Festival await you. Richly Costumed characters roam the grounds to entertain children with magic, serpents, horses and birds.  A village market of artesian crafters circles the grounds for shoppers.   ATM Machines are available for the purchase of food and shopping.
