Renaissance Fairs in Alaska

Good morrow, all ye noble lords and beauteous ladies! Prithee, allow me to regale ye with a tale of the wondrous adventures to be had at a renaissance fair! There are a number to attend in the fine state of Alaska.

Three Barons Renaissance Fair - Located in Anchorage, Alaska at Tozier Track. This fair will be held weekends June 2^nd - 10^th from 12:00 pm to 8:00 pm. Tickets will be $7. Those who wish to dress in costume will not be allowed to carry weapons. The Blue Baron Amin, Green Baron Victor Steele, and Red Baron Demarco Valentino visit the village of Hillshire again; along with their retinues, and their grievances. Each noble court brings their own entertainments, adding to those performers already residing in the village. Visitors will enjoy captivating music, surprising magic, outrageous comedy, daring sword fights, exotic dancing, enchanting storytelling, mysterious fortunetelling, and many more performances. The Crooked Toad Tavern will offer musical and comical entertainment for the stout of heart and humor, and children must be accompanied by an adult to these shows. For the younger guests, The Twisted Tadpole Tavern will be open, full of fun and activities such as music, fairy tales, and games including the crossbow, catapult, tic-tac-toad, and a fishing hole. Vendors and artisans will tempt the palate and the wallet with delicious foods, beverages, and handcrafted items.
