Go back in time and experience a
land of peasants, pirates, maidens, and nobility at the Northern California
Renaissance Faire, located at Casa de Fruta in Hollister.
Held every Saturday
and Sunday from September 14th through October 13th, one
can experience a journey through the
village of Willingtown at a time when classical art, architecture, literature,
and music flourished.
The Renaissance Faire is a place
where entertainment starts from the moment one walks through the gate. The
Marketplace is full of all types of performers from all around the globe who
are ready to sing and dance to your delight.
Over 140 master artisans present creations of
blown glass, sculptures, amulets, romantic clothing and much, much more. However,
make sure to walk with caution for you may have an encounter with a
swashbuckling, sword fighting pirate.
The Renaissance Faire is fit for
all ages and one is certain to find a show for their liking. Traveling with
little ones? Be sure to venture into The Enchanted Garden where fairies and
woodland creatures come to life. Or for those who are more mature, The Dockside
Alley awaits where the ale flows like water and peddlers are ever-so present.
For a hands on experience come
perfect your archery, fencing, and axe throwing skills with a variety of booths
and games available throughout the grounds.
Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth I,
requests your presence during the 2013 Celtic Rock Series. Saturday’s at 6pm,
be sure to open your ears and let out a big “Huzzah!” for the musical
performances of Tempest, Wicked Tinkers, The Galway Hooker Band, Hoist The
Colors, and Brick Top Blaggers.
Grab a turkey leg and head on
over to the World Tournament of Champions. Donned with armor, professional jousters
battle with lances, swords, and daggers for the pleasure of the audience and
Her Majesty. Although it is uncertain who will claim victory it is certain that
this performance will leave you on the edge of your seat.
Dust off your Renaissance garb
and meet us at Casa de Fruta where a land of mystical fantasy comes to life!
