LjMarch 16, 2013Take enough cash! Parking is free, vendors take credit cards, food & drink stands don't. ATM service was out all day. Ticket booth lady said it happened last year too.
Great Ren Faire close to Austin. A bit on the small side but in only a few years operating they've delivered a quality product!
Jenniferlynn Scentsy Wax PimpFebruary 25, 2013great faire but be sure to wear boots! its all huge chunks of wood chips and tons of stickers....
Laura WaldenSeptember 26, 2012This faire is still on its infancy. Clearly meant to be long term. The Celtic Fest was not very Celtic. It was all about the music, which was rock with fiddle thrown on every now & again.
Billy MitchellMarch 23, 2013Sherwood is the best Renaissance festival in Texas in my opinion. Camping here is great and the clans know how to party!
Make sure to stop by Naughty Lows for some food. They have a crew of pirates serving up some uncommon food.
Jessica FontenotMarch 9, 2013Get a chocolate-covered cheesecake slice at The Chocolate Cacophony booth (across from The Falconers Stage)!
Theresa TaylorMarch 14, 2016Ogre toes, scotch eggs, washing wenches and the entire setup of the faire is awesome
Crystal GaitanMarch 26, 2013Get cash! Make sure to have enough for food and tips for the performers.
- Candy VillescaFebruary 24, 2017Deaf Performers/ASL users (Pirate Play) on April 1st weekend!!! Come check it out
April DavisApril 2, 2013Had a fabulous time! Can't wait to come back next time! Already making plans!
Check out Circa Paleo. Also, try the fried eggplant at Como's.
- Blacksmith is really neat. 1800 degrees with a 150 year old bellows.
- Turkey legs make a for a good lunch while watching the joust
John FuexMarch 26, 2011Don't bother washing your car before you go cuz you will definitely need to when you get back.- It's like Disney World and all the guests came dressed as Mickey Mouse.
