Page 1 of 2 Scarborough Faire is Back!
By Kathryn E. Eriksen
 Celebrate the year 1533 and King Henry VIII’s court at the 28th annual Scarborough Faire. As soon as you step through the gates of the festival, you are taken back to the Renaissance where anything can happen.
Just to the right of the front gates is a costume shop. They offer a variety of Renaissance-style attire for men, women and children. Rent the costume during your stay, and really get into the flavor of the festival! Prices range from $25 for children and up to $60 for adults.
Festive entertainment includes acts ranging from Thomas Wood – Pyro Juggler to Doktor Kaboom – Exploding Science. Roving groups of festivalgoers dressed in authentic renaissance clothing provides constant entertainment.
The food booths are well spaced throughout the park and offer a wide variety of choices. A turkey leg eaten without utensils is a must, as well as sausage-on-a-stick. Foods from around the world are also offered, such as gyros sandwiches and fajitas. The artesian and craft shops add to the festive atmosphere, with a variety of unique gift items. Have you ever fancied yourself as a belly dancer? Then visit Belly Dance Treasures to discover the perfect costume. What about hand crafted wind chimes? Celestine Winds is your destination. There are over 150 artesian and craft booths and shops scattered around the grounds. Buy a season pass and visit Scarborough Faire as often as you like (Christmas is only 8 months away!)
