RenFaires 2014 Season
« on: 2014-07-06, 03:53:55 »
Thought one of these threads might be useful since the summer/fall season’s starting soon.

For what it’s worth, the Great Lakes Medieval Fest starts up next weekend. Not sure yet which weekend I’m going to try to make it out there; possibly first or second weekend. I realize I’m kind of the only one who’s relatively close to it, but just putting it out there anyway. :)

I also plan on hitting at least PARF and the Pittsburgh Faire again this year. MDRF is a big maybe.

Feel free to add and expand on this, gents.

I'll be hitting the Kansas City Ren Faire at some point. It runs from August 30th through October 13th. Pretty good sized faire.

We are usually at MDRF most weekends. I usually make it there for about 15 out of the 19 days. Of course, if we do Days of Knights, there's a weekend I certainly won't be around.

I don't make it to PARF every year, but sometimes I plan on going on the opening weekend, since it usually opens the weekend before MDRF does. But later in the season can also be more appealing, since August on a paved faire site can make for some unappealing temperatures.

I will be missing opening weekend of MDRF as I'm going to a wedding. I will make that Sun/Mon Laborday weekend for my first visit. I don't know if I'll make PARF before MDRF this season.  :-\

PARF- First weekend
MDRF- Not quite sure. I am pretty sure I will be there the final weekend. I know I will be there before that but not when.

Darn, I'm going to miss you guys at PARF by one weekend. I'm planning on hitting it the second week in August and the second week in September.

I'll likely be getting a season pass to PaRF and will be there most weekends when my reenacting unit isn't doing events. I have decided to forgo my Henrician kit till the spring, so I will be an abomination. I will be using this as an opportunity to bring out some kits I don't showcase as much like my Border Reiver kit and some kits I'm still working on, like my Ironsides ECW kit. Of course, my Pikeman and Musketeer kits will also blend in. I'm hopefull to make MdRF, but alas the weekend I was shooting for we have scheduled an event, so that may not happen again this season.

Surprise!  I would like to extend the invitation to the Ren-Deus-Vult event to be held the first weekend in August at the Bristol Renaissance Festival. For anyone who wants to adopt a "Habit" (the attire of a medieval warrior monk of the Crusading period: 1099-1565), or in my case can't kick one, Crusaders from all around will be gathering for the weekend. It used to be held at Fishers in Indiana, but now we're roaming and trying to reach out to others.


See you there! To not attend would be a sin.  :P :D ;)

That's the weekend of August 2-3? I have another event that weekend, unfortunately. Otherwise, it would be great to make it out to one of these.

There's rumor that a larger than normal contingent of Teutonic Brethren will be on hand.

Safe travels all the same.

Isn't Bristol Ren-Faire the sister one of the NY Ren-Faire?? I believe it is. Too bad I'll be in PA Ren-Faire then.
