I came upon a bit of information today from a little birdie that I’m excited to be able to pass on to you. This wise little birdie told me that coming up right around the corner was an event that takes me back in time in more ways than one.
Yup, you guessed it. The 14th annual Florida Renaissance Festival is once again setting up shop at Quiet Waters Park for six weekends, beginning Saturday, February 11 and running through Sunday, March 19, 2006. It will also be open on Monday, February 20 (President’s Day), and two school days during the week: Wednesday, February 15 and Thursday, February 16.
The festival, from what I hear, will have a different theme for each weekend...whether it’s romance, pirates, or wine and food tasting that piques your interest.
Arts and crafts, games, food, and live entertainment at every turn are just some of the things you can look forward to in the weekends to come. Patrons are also invited to engage in the “Knight’s Quest” competition or eat like a king at “The Royal Feast,” which includes a five course meal and endless refreshments.
Now I must say, hearing about this festival really brings me back to the days of yore. And by “days of yore,” I mean about fourth or fifth grade. Ahh yes, back in the day was the last and only time I have attended the festival. But if I reach back far enough into the recesses of my memory, I do recall it being lots of fun. I imagine years later it can only be just as great if not better, not only for kids but all ages.
And while we’re in a festive mood, once the Renaissance Festival runs its course there won’t be long to wait before another festival comes to town. On May 19-21, also at Quiet Waters Park, the 2006 Cajun-Zydeco Festival will be bringing music to the ears and mouth-watering Cajun dishes to the hungry stomachs of many.
This is one I haven’t yet been to, but for a colorfully cultural weekend (and what I’m most interested in – really good food!) I would suggest checking it out.
For more information on the Florida Renaissance Festival, go to www.ren-fest.com, or give them a call locally at 954-776-1642 and toll free at 1-800-3-REN-FES. To check out more on the Cajun-Zydeco Festival, visit www.cajun-fest.com, or call 954-771-7117.
I’m anxious to take a foray into these festivals and experience both something I’ve seen before and something completely new. Hopefully you’ll decide to take a weekend – or even just a day – and see what they’re all about, too!
