RenFaire dates - 2010
Sir Edward:
The best way in is via Route 50. It's all right turns, very easy. If you're going east on 50, you'll want to take EXIT 22, Aris T. Allen + Riva Road. Be on the right when you see the signs for Exit 21 rt. 97, because Exit 22 is very quick after that. Stay to the right as the ramp splits, and at the bottom you take a right onto Riva at the light. Then take a right at the second light onto Truman. Truman will dead-end into South Haven at a light, and you turn right here. Then after a couple blocks you'll cross over 450 and the road becomes Crownsville Rd, and the faire is on the right after about a 1/2 mile.
Sir William:
That's not the general directions they give everyone, is it? Just wondering...I'm looking to avoid that long line of traffic that usually begins a few miles back from the entrance. Can't remember the name of that road...either way, we'll be there!
For my part, I'm excited!
Sir Edward:
The recently changed the website to make this the main directions from Rt.50, but it hasn't caused traffic issues yet. They used to tell you to get onto Rt.3 from 50, then go east on 450 for 6.5 miles before turning onto Crownsville Rd. It's probably 450 you're thinking of, since it backs up for miles if you don't get there early enough. And it's mostly due to the traffic light at Crownsville Rd, rather than the faire entrance. Coming across 450, from South Haven, you usually only have to sit through the red light once, and then straight to the faire parking lot without stopping.
This season I saw the first exception to this that I've noticed. I often get to the faire around 11 or 11:30, and usually can zip right in. But this past week was so ridiculously crowded that I saw crownsville road itself back up on this side. (The north side is a different story, as Crownsville Rd will back up all the way back out onto 97 and 32 sometimes).
The weather is probably going to be pretty good this weekend, so I'd expect a good crowd. But this past week was also Octoberfest (or "drunktoberfest" as we often call it), which is always packed if the weather is at all decent..
Sir William:
Yup, 450 it is...since I live right off it, that's the way I would take, just wasn't sure if I took it all the way up. Apparently, I did/do. Welp, no matter what, I'll be there, with milady in tow! Or vice versa. lol

Go east until the men speak Italian, then keep going until they speak something else. :D
