ESCAPE YOUR REALITY, COME TO KING RICHARD’S FAIRE - THE NEW<br />
ENGLAND RENAISSANCE FESTIVAL<br />
Gates open September 2, 20<strong>17</strong><br />
King Richard’s Faire, New England’s largest and longest-running Renaissance<br />
Faire, announces its 36th season running weekends including Labor Day and<br />
Columbus Day Mondays, September 2 through October 22, 20<strong>17</strong>. Tucked away<br />
on 80 acres of enchanted forest off Rt. 58 in Carver, Mass., the Faire offers a full<br />
day of live, interactive entertainment for all ages. Enjoy daring knights jousting on<br />
horseback, exciting rides and games of skill, an original musical, and hundreds of<br />
talented entertainers on eight stages. Dancers, singers, acrobats, exotic animals,<br />
wacky wenches, happy villagers, and the King’s royal court greet you as you enter<br />
the gates.<br />
When as famished as a mud beggar, guests will enjoy the Faire’s delicious spitroasted<br />
turkey legs, buttery ears of corn, boules filled with chowder and stew,<br />
ringlets of fries, and quench their thirst with champagne, wine and brew. Shoppers<br />
can stroll through the <strong>16</strong>th century village filled with the wares of more than 100<br />
unique and talented artisans from near and far. At every turn, guests will encounter<br />
fantasy and wonder through minstrels, musicians, acrobats, stilt walkers, giant<br />
puppets, wenches, and more.<br />
