The 5th annual ‘San Jose Renaissance Faire’ is taking place over two days next month. It is a recreation of life during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I.
The event will be filled with costumed performers, re-enactors, knights jousting for glory, parades and pageants. There will be three stages providing entertainment all day such as Shakespeare scenes, jugglers, and musicians.
‘Children's Court’ will have special games and entertainment for the kids to enjoy over the two day festival. Visitors to the Renaissance Faire will also be treated to a military presentation using weapons of the time. Food and drink, many dishes inspired by the era also will be available for purchase.
A large part of the festival is the approximately 100 vendors who will offer a variety of different merchandise and souvenirs for purchase. Items on offer will include arts and crafts, Renaissance-era model weapons, and leather goods.
Fairs like this are quite popular and this one will no doubt attract visitors from all over the area. Local poster printing companies were probably contacted to provide marketing materials in communities nearby such as Hayward.
The San Jose Renaissance Faire will be held at Discover Meadow from August 1 to 2. Admission is $18 for adults, $13 for seniors, military personnel, and children between the ages of 13 and 17, and $8 for children aged 6 and 12.
