No weapons permitted. No alcohol or coolers allowed. With one step you leave behind all that you have known and with the next step into a world where Myth and Legend are Reality. A place where Ladies walk hand in hand with Knights in shining armour, where Musicians sit under shaded tree and weave stories of lyrical wonder. A place where Merchants offer treasures from far away lands, and foods are offered that are both new to the eye and pleasing to the palette. Enjoy games and diversions of great merriment, while Performers entertain you with their cleverness and skill. Join us for two days of magic and wonder that will leave you
wishing not to return to your mundane world. Dress in your finest garb and
dance the night away at the Masquerade Ball where your Prince Charming or Lady
Juliet awaits you. Festivities begin Saturday morn at 10 am do not end until the last note from the music
at the Pub Sing which follows the Masquerade Ball.
The Festival resumes Sunday morning at 10 am and concludes at 5 pm. Free
to all that shall enter our Magical Realm. |
