Tennessee Renaissance Festival 2008

  Illuminated Medieval and Renaissance Faire!  The Tennessee Renaissance Festival is here again! This has to be one of my favorite things to do every year, As the Renaissance spectacular comes to life in Middle Tennessee. This is a family festival that all can and will enjoy! Every weekend in the Month of May let yourself travel back in time to Covington Glen and all the fun characters larking in the forest.

 When you first arrive you park your modern day vehicle in a large parking lot field, you can't help but to notice the somehow enchanting old forest straight ahead.

As you make your way to the bridge gates you are greeted by the kingdom's court and bid a "Good Day Welcome" as the sights and sounds around you begin to transform into 16 century England.

Sounds of flutes and merry music, smells of roasted meats and sweets float in the breeze. Thirsty? Fresh squeezed lemonade and ale awaits your next corner.  There are so many unique characters to admire and mingle with or even converse in English tongues. Or maybe you enjoy a good jousting match, medieval toys, handmade baskets and trinkets, unique shiny jewelry or a fairy filled maze? If your looking for something different and unforgettable - be sure to visit the Tennessee Renaissance festival this May. I never miss a chance for this spectacular, unexpected adventure.

Christina, Sounds like a lot of fun. It reminds me of the Renaissance Faire we had in Agoura, California for so many years that eventually moved out to San Bernardino, California. I finally went to the Faire when I had to drive 90 minutes instead of 10! Hope you have a lot of fun.

Christina, it reminds me of Medeival Times here in Myrtle Beach.  What a bunch of fun!
Posted by Jeremy Blanton (210 Consulting~ Social Media Advisors) about 1 year ago
This sounds great! And I really like the photos; especially the fairy or pixie or whatever she is. Do you guys have a Medieval Times restaurant there? That's always a fun thing for families to do. It's very similar.

Thanks for reminding me Jeremy... I have to plan my Myrtle Beach vacation!  Have a great week

Lisa, We have a medieval times restaurant in Gatlinburg, TN. Very fun, I agree. Have a great week.

Lisa, We have a Renaissance Festival at Montgomery Texas and I guess it has gone on for 25 years or so.. I am surprised the King hasn't been overthrown by now!  ;O)  They are a lot of fun . I  enjoy the mudfights, wenches, and the magicians. The whole show is fun. They used to have an ogar but he scared the little ones too much.... so they dumped him.
Posted by Trey Thurmond, College Station , Texas Homes (Brazosland Classic Realty) about 1 year ago
The Ogar sounds fun... We have a pretty scary ragged witch at ours... I'm surprised she hasen't scared the children as well.
