The Joust is my favorite, and we plan everything around it! While most of the vendors accept credit cards, almost all the food, drink and games are cash only. Also, remember to tip the performers you really enjoy! For most, this is the only way they make money. They spend the day walking about, meeting visitors!
They do open the festival each morning at the gates, and preside over the Jousting Tournament. Be sure you get a map to find your way around the festival, and be sure to arrive early to the shows you want to see so you get a good seat!
You can even rent a costume when you arrive. John Karger is a wonderful speaker! Arrive early to sit close to the front for the best views! The Birds of Prey Show is brought by Last Chance Forever, a non-profit organization based in San Antonio that travels the state and country educating the public about these incredible raptors! LCF also works to rehabilitate about injured birds that they receive each year!

The fight was tremendous, as they rolled on the ground and in the mud! Afterwards, the knights came out to say hello, and when I asked for a picture with my daughter, they gathered round very close, covering her in mud!
It was great! Love Mermaids? Check out the annual Mermaid Festival in San Marcos each September, with a fun parade and kid activities to bring attention to the conservation needs of the river!

We are open all year and we have an unbelievably huge selection of Renaissance or SRF Themed Weekend attire for everyone. Do you prefer period correct attire for the Renaissance Period Historical Characters? Cotton Socks — Striped or silly socks are another way to stay warm and add a little whimsy to your outfit.
Bloomers — Another layer for warmth and fun, wear a pair of ruffle bloomers under a full peasant skirt. Knit Gloves — Another accessory to keep you warm and comfortable at Faire. I always keep a pair of finger-less knit gloves in my leather pouch, just in case. Parasol — Usually an impulse item at Faire, parasols provide excellent shade strolling between shops.
Faire merchants offer a wide variety of parasols and are worth buying on site to avoid a sunburn! Leather belt and bag — After a few Faire days, I ungraded my fabric pouch to a leather belt and bag set.
Many leather shops will punch extra holes or shorten the belt, just ask! More bodices, corsets, and waist cinchers. Price usually reflects quality on corsets and bodices. Check the boning and stitching around the boning to ensure a well-made item. Adjustable side and back lacing makes for a better fit bodice, and will be more expensive. After buying a dozen more expensive bodices , I find that I really like less expensive waist cinchers with side and back lacing and slight boning for shape.
Wooden mug plus loop for belt — There is something about drinking ale or cinder from a wooden mug! After many days at Faire, I was so envious of people with their own mugs. I purchased a tall stripe wood mug with handle, to wear on my belt loop. Jewelry — Many artisans at Faire will customize earrings, necklace, rings and more to your specific tastes. Cloak — The period perfect cold weather accessory is a cloak or hooded cape.
Floor length or short cloak will keep you warm and protect against wind, rain, and snow. Better options are available online that what many shops at Faire may have in stock, but when you are cold this might be your favorite impulse purchase to continue enjoying your day at Faire! Fabric — Polyester or poly blend fabrics repel stains, but do not breathe as well so stick to cotton and linen for warmer weather Faires like Arizona, California, and Texas. I made the mistake of buying a long sleeve, polyester chemise dress.
I was miserable and sweaty after wearing it once on a warm but not particularly windy day. A friend of mine invited several women over to bring Renaissance Faire clothes and accessories for swap, trade, or sell. Clothing that no longer fit was traded to friends for better fitting items and accessories. With enough people, we were able to coordinate swaps and various sales. One three way swap allowed a friend to trade in her Irish overdress and chemise for an almost new black leather bodice!
