We went to the Carolina Renaissance Festival this weekend. What a cool place. I was pleasantly surprised by how much stuff they have going on. It really is geared toward kids and I am looking forward to our son being old enough in a few years to really enjoy the place. It is amazing that the organizers are able to get that many characters and actors in once place to make the whole event neat.
We tried the crepes, the king size turkey legs, and the bakery near the entrance. The town drunk was funny and the tree (like a character from lord of the rings) was great. We all though the tomato insulter was the best. Basically, you pay a few dollars to throw tomatoes at a guy hanging out of a wall while he hurls insults at you. Its harder than it looks and the guy in the wall was hilarious. He tortured this poor soccer mom.
Anyways, if you get the chance, definitely go to the Renaissance festival. The Carolina Renaissance Festival is a medieval amusement park, a 10-stage theater, a 20-acre circus, an arts and crafts fair, a jousting tournament and a feast -- all rolled into one non-stop, day-long family adventure! It is on Poplar Tent Road between Huntersville and Concord, just North of Charlotte. It is open from 10 AM to 5:30 PM and it runs on weekends through the middle of November.
