Framed by the forested Green Hills the field is strewn with tents both brilliant white and vibrant hues. The aromas of roasting foods rise through the air along with the sounds of laughter and music that abound upon the field. Brave Knights strive to earn Ladies hearts by deeds of arms and with the shiny treasures found on Merchants Row. Games to entrance and enthrall the young and the young at heart are here by the Stage where Musicians and Performers entertain the on looking crowd.

Dress in your finest garb as you walk with Nobles, Ladies and Knights about the grounds beginning Saturday morning at 10 am and ending with the final dance of the Ball that evening.

If it rains this weekend, don't let the wet weather deter you from experiencing the Medieval Faire at Green Hill Park! It rained last year and there were folks there having an excellent time. The photos at left are from last year's event. Below is the release from Roanoke County Parks and Recreation:
Experience the adventure, pageantry, magic and romance of medieval times at Roanoke County’s Green Hill Park. On Saturday from 10 AM to 6 PM and Sunday 10 AM to 5 PM upon the spacious verge you will find fluttering flags and festive tentage of merchants offering wares from mystical lands and times. Revisit history made reality as the living history exhibitors display life as it was in the Middle Ages. Come witness the Scottish horsemanship and sword fighting which are among the many favorite forms of medieval entertainment. Smell the luscious aroma of roasted meats, tasty breads and delicious treats near the tavern pavilion. Throughout the day, you will witness laughter, music and merriment, colorful dancers, nobles, ladies, knights, and of course the most noble of all creatures the regal greyhounds. Festive tents line the lawn with gifts, garb and wonders galore.
Due to its past popularity the Highland Games are back and have been expanded into a full two days of excitement! You can witness incredible feats of strength and endurance by some of the best athletes around. Athletes of varying skill levels will compete in seven challenging and varied categories. On Saturday beginning at 5 PM a Masquerade Ball will be held at no extra charge, dress for the ball if you so desire and learn the refined art of hand kissing, engage in the wooing contest and learn the dances from days of old charm.
Each day children of all ages are invited to play imaginative games such as Ratapult, Sheep Toss, Dragon Droppings, Unicorn Ring Toss, Boar Hunt, and Pole Jousting. You may also test your prowess at the archery range and ax throw. Take a step back into time, bring the whole family and make a little “history of your own”!
In an effort to entice area families to attend, especially with the
relevance of this period in history to SOL testing admission price has
been kept at only $5 per person with children under 5 being free.
