Arizona Renaissance Festival 2013

Another wonderful year at the Arizona Renaissance Festival! This was their 25 year anniversary and I'm happy to say, I haven't missed a single year!


(Yes, I snapped this on the way out of the festival because the lighting wasn't good going in)

Here is a picture of the royal family, with the Princess on the left, the Queen in the middle, and the King on the right. Maybe next year I'll get some snapshots of those handsome young princes!


If you go hungry at the Arizona Renaissance Festival, you'll have only yourself to blame. Just look at all your choices!








After all of that, you'll need something to drink, of course. Keep your eye out for this booth whenever you get thirsty!


Sometimes you need a snack.


And don't forget about dessert!




(And I've barely scratched the surface of your options!)

The Arizona Renaissance Festival had a brand new feature this year called Pan's Oasis. In this next sequence of pictures, you'll see the satyr Pan cavorting in a fountain before the fountain comes to life! This is definitely going to become one of my favorite stops at the RenFest every year.



























Until next year...huzzah!

Arizona Renaissance Festival 2012

Here are some pictures I snapped at this year's 
Arizona Renaissance Festival!

This harlequin was blowing bubbles at the entrance to 
delight the visiting children


Next I came to the Piccolo Pony. I don't think he's very
 piccolo ("small"), do you?



I strolled past Storybook Castle...


...and the Dragon Slide...


...and Thistlewood Cottage...


...where I met these two fine cottagers



In addition to a cottage, every Renaissance Festival needs a 
Renaissance ATM machine


And more importantly, a nice, modern restroom 
disguised as a Privy!


I watched a show while I ate my lunch (steak on a stake)


~ Dextre Tripp on fire ~


~ Dextre juggling while on fire ~

~ Dextre balancing atop a very TALL unicycle ~

~ Dextre juggling knives atop a very TALL unicyle! ~


I always stop by the Greyhound Pavilion



I went on St. Patrick's Day, so of course, Saint Patrick was there


Here are some random RenFest people



And I finished the day by watching Gypsy Geoff balance 
all these things on his chin!


Another very nice day at the Renaissance Faire!
