Sterling Renaissance Festival

Food and drink are obnoxiously expensive, but that's what you expect at any kind of festival as that's obviously how they make a lot of their profits. Very good performances all around

The owner chases out any act or person of value.

Actually got my acting roots being Friar Tuck here over a couple dozen years so I am a bit partial. Great place to meet up with old and new friends. Lovely people and settings, great fun for the kids especially. Food and beverages are pretty high priced but usually very good. I still try to get back at least one weekend when I'm up that way.

The only con is that everything is a little pricey. But if you don't spend money all day on food and souvenirs it's very reasonable. Fun atmosphere and nice staff. Very shady so you don't have to bake in the sun all day.

Super fun, really must see. So many free activities included. Lots of clean bathrooms. High quality performers. Include the visitors and create an immersive experience. Lots of shops and food/drink vendors.
