Mike's World - Renaissance
HUZZAH!
Welcome to the world of the Renaissance Festival where we celebrate mankind's emergence from the dark ages and return to enlightenment. A time when all kings and queens were wise and good-hearted, all knights were chivalrous, all maidens were fair, all peasants were happy and where the magical faery realms coexisted with our mundane world.
Just because such a place only exists in our imaginations doesn't make it any less fun!
The Minnesota Renaissance Festival is one of the largest faires in the country. Our whole family loves it and we make sure to visit at least once each year.
