Maryland Renaissance Festival event page
Always a delight to attend and well worth the ticket price to simply wander about.
There was less of a haul this year than the last, but 2021 was a big “welcome back” due to closures in 2020.
Notable events from opening weekend:
- Attending the Revel Grove debut of Jack the Whipper/Jacques Ze Whipper. Much dexterity, much charisma, and much, understandable female thirst in the audience.
- Nut and Meat vendors together at last, hawking wares in-character while coordinating emergency services.
- One brave soul attending as a Plague Doctor in full dress and without care to the summer heat.
- A few people coaxing a slightly reluctant, sun-basking skink off the steps of a shop.
- An employee of Marty Magic staring at my sister’s silver dragon necklace (bought from them years ago) and asking if it could be escorted into the machine out back to polish it back up.
With further ado, the purchases:
Wheat fan from Wheat Dreams
Iron Pisces from Iron Antler Forge
Various books from Page After Page
Killer Bee Honey from The Bee Folks, because the Radish Honey was too adventurous
Shot glass with a Black Pearl from Waterhawk Creations
Iridescent Cuttlefish Pendant from Marty Magic
Much tempted to make a second trip this year but wiser to be patient until the next.
For any who plan to attend while there is still time, do enjoy it.
