Recap of the Georgia Renaissance Festival
The Georgia Renaissance festival, held in Fairburn, Ga., ended on Sunday. The festival, which celebrates Medieval times, is held yearly in the spring. So, here’s a look at what you can expect to see if you decide to go.
The royal court was around various times during the day for photo opportunities. They were a very interactive court. I actually became a part of their act.
These three young ladies were selling flower garlands from a wagon.
This was a glass blowing demonstration. He was heating the chemicals to make glass.
I ate a giant roasted turkey leg. I had to try one.
This man, chosen from the audience at one of the shows, got the chance to drench a washer woman with water. He looks as though he is having too much fun.
I was tempted to buy a dress to wear as a costume for Halloween. There were many more shops at the festival. There were a couple of small rides for children, and a maze. I think that the costumed performers and shows were the main attraction.

What’s the deal with the washer woman? Did he have to pay to do that?
(And yes, he looks to be enjoying that quite a bit).
Hey Matt!
You pay one fee and you just walk around until you find a show that you would like to see. There were show times posted in the festival and several stages with benches around. That guy was in the audience and the washer woman was looking for someone to participate. She chose him! He was a good sport and got up on state. We could tell that he was not expecting to be a part of the show and all!
