Today we went to the Renaissance Festival in Crownsville. It is a Renaissance themed festival in Revel Grove, a sort of village (permanent set up, only used for Ren Fest) in a farmers paddock, about 15 mins out of Annapolis. It is only on weekends, from late August to mid-October.
There were various places to watch shows, buy food, buy loosely olde english stuff, and a surprising amount of celtic-esque sort of culture. Perhaps every man in his heart is looking for an excuse to clump around in doc martins and a kilt? Oh, and there are kilts with cargo pockets now...
Certainly there were plenty of people fulfilling some sort of deep seated need to dress up. It was most enjoyable to simply admire the effort that was going into some of the costumes.
We watched an archery show, the tail end of a maypole activity, bubble blowing, the more adventurous child had a pony ride, and a birds of prey show. Also, a scottish rock group that used drums and bagpipes. (Cu Dubh - described as Tribal warrior music at its best)I really enjoyed all of it.
