As we were leaving the Maryland Renaissance Festival yesterday, I stopped and asked a period dressed hostess how many people hadpassed through the gates that day.
“We had somewhere between twenty-two and twenty-five thousand revelers in the village today,” she replied.
I knew it was a big crowd but I didn’t realize it was thatbig. I wondered if that was close to some kind of record.
“No. We once got pretty close to thirty thousand,” andadded, “that was a lot of people.”
I thought twenty-two thousand was a lot of people but theweekend period
Some of those attendees go all out in getting into the whole medievalspirit thing.
There were lots of things that made us laugh too. Who knewthe 16th century could be so funny?
The wooded setting is perfect too. Yesterday it was coolunder the trees yet warm in the open air spots near the Kings Field joustingarena. This is one of the few places you can go to enjoy There is a HoCo connection too. The festival began in 1976 onwhat was then undeveloped land behind Merriweather Post Pavilion in
The 36th Maryland Renaissance Festival runs everyweekend up until October 21st. If you plan on going, plan on goingearly. The gates open at 10:30 AM and by 11:30 the traffic begins to clog upthe two lane roads leading to the site.
If you haven’t been, it is well worth the price ofadmission, especially on those gorgeous fall days like yesterday.
