Medieval Fair

This is fun for the whole family. Finally got to go this year for the first year and I plan on going back every year.
Make sure to drive around to find parking because the main lots cost $ 5 but you can park elsewhere for free.
This fair has tons of things to do. There is a playground for kids to play on, face painting and hair braiding (make sure to scope out all the prices first. They range from $ 5-​$ 20 depending on which vendor you go to).
The kids can get their picture taken with mermaids and become a princess or knight (adults can do this too!!)
They have knife, star and axe throwing,“test your strength”, camel rides, pony rides, sword making and crafts. There was a vendor there making glass too which was really cool.
Plenty of entertainment with jousting, human chess, singers, belly dancers and musicians. Just walking around and seeing everyone’s costumes is entertainment enough
Plenty of food vendors with tons of selections. Turkey legs, funnel cakes, bourbon chicken, fried cheese on a stick… and the list goes on. Make sure to check other vendors too because the prices are all different.
There is plenty of stuff to buy. wooden swords & shields, fairy wings, fairy dust, elf ears, minerals/​rocks and tons of medieval clothing. I saw everyone wearing fox tails! Had to get one for my niece… it was $ 18! Yes, she suckered me with her pouty face. But it won’t happen again… I hope.
Ohhhhh and Dogs are welcome! :)

Pretty fun times today. It was super hot but thankfully there was a nice breeze. Even though there’s no admission, parking in the nearby lots cost $ 5. Call us cheap or willing to walk but we parked a few blocks up and walked down.
There were plenty of ancient practices that included jousting, welding swords and making crafts. Kudos to those who dressed up in garbs as it was too hot for all that. Even though our son is a year old, there was to see.

For the past several years my daughter and her friends have gone to the Medieval Fair and had a great time! The entrance is free but DO make sure and bring some cash for fair food and that random sword you just have to have! The kids especially like the wandering folk in character (some are part of the staff, some are people who just dress up at any chance they get). There are animal rides that are sure to attract the children as well. And if your kid likes to dress up in medieval/​knight/​princess clothes, this is a must go to!

I had a really great time at this fair. I loved the fact that there was no charge for admissions. There were a lot of food trucks/​booths and prices were very high which is typical for events like this. A 12oz bottle of Mt. Dew cost $ 3, ugh. But a lot of the foods sold here are only available at fairs (ex: turkey legs!) so I forked over the money for those delicious, unhealthy, fried foods!
There were shows going on throughout the day including jousting, dance shows, costume contests, magician, and more. Some were boring and some kept my attention somewhat. Camel and llama rides were available for a small price. There was also a petting zoo where you can put a huge python over your shoulder.
Souvenir shops were located throughout the park. They sold costumes, jewelry, swords, shields, candles, pottery, and one where they can look up your family’s coat of arms.
Parking was available at the Lloyd Noble Center which was very close to Reaves Park for $ 5. This event wasn’t huge by any means but for being free, it was quite enjoyable.
