Morgan and Nancy's favorite Renaissance Faires in California with (at least some) 2008 dates Valhalla Renaissance Faire at Camp Richardson, right across from the lake (and, yum, a Rumrunner, or 3, at the Beacon). May 31st- June 8th (two weekends) Renaissance Pleasure Faire at Casa de Fruta in Hollister. Now one of my personal favorites, and free of REC!!! Folsom Renaissance Faire Folsom, CA. Central Coast Renaissance Festival Haven't been in awhile, but had a wildly fun time working the wine booth in '95 and '96. July 19th and 20th. ~Click here to recommend a Faire (tell us a little something about it, too) or to comment on anything already listed.~ Faires far and wide San Diego Renaissance Faire at Balboa Park. Texas Renaissance Festival Looks like a pretty big Faire. Pre-Elizabethan. New York Renaissance Faire Looks great on the website, anyway. Huzzoaw!! August 2nd - September 21st. Minnesota Renaissance Festival I've heard it's a good one, but haven't been myself. Be forewarned of a long wait for their website! New Jersey Renaissance Kingdom More of a medieval Faire. Sounds like they put on a great Halloween gig, too. Morgan LOVES Halloween.   Other sort of related websites Renaissance Faire Forget-Me-Knot Lots of Ren. Faire info. The Swordsmen Dirk and Guido, Bold and Stupid Men at your service. Without a doubt, these are VERY silly men, and you can get all kinds of BSM stuff, even a T-shirt for your dog. The Bilge Pumps Pirate music guaranteed to induce sea sickness. No Quarter Given Newsletter for plunderers such as M. Mayhem. "RUM . . . It's not just for breakfast anymore!" Church of the Subgenius Gustav the Wizard sent me here. A pretty strange cult, but, then, Gustav is a pretty strange guy. Despair, Inc. Maybe this is pretty unFaire, but we thought it funny enough to link to it. If you haven't seen their stuff, check it out. ~Click here to recommend a website or share links.~
