Fairburn, either Fulton or Fayette?, GA

EIGHT FESTIVE WEEKENDS! April 12 thru June 1, 2008
Saturdays and Sundays Including Memorial Day - 10:30am - 6pm OPEN RAIN OR SHINE
(NOTE - This is an annual event, if you missed it, plan for next years being approximately the same time)

What is a Renaissance Festival?
Our multi-acre kingdom is a re-creation of a 16th-Century European Country Faire where you can shop, eat and revel with a cast of nearly 1,000 colorfully costumed characters . Ten stages of music and comedy shows are set against a permanent backdrop of Tudor homes and enchanting cottages! Cheer your champion knight at the Royal Equestrian Joust Arena. Feast like a King on the hearty food and drink of the period, shop for fine handcrafted treasures and watch demonstrations of the time-honored arts of weaving, coin minting, spinning, sculpting, glass blowing, and leather crafting and enjoy games and rides for all ages.

What are the dates and hours?
The Festival is open Saturdays and Sundays plus Memorial Day, from April 12 thru June 1, 2008. Hours: 10:30 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.

Note: Most Renaissance Faires will have "school days" with discount pricing and special activities. There are often numerous volunteer oppurtunities at this that can be great learning oppurtunities for homeschooling families.
