The family-friendly Wenatchee Valley Renaissance Faire welcomes kings and queens, maidens and knights, jesters and pirates, and everyone in between. The two-day festival includes activities such as designing a shield and carriage rides, as well as archery contests, battle tug, and Whack-a-Knight, which Medieval royalty used to play when moles were in short supply. In-character Renaissance performers will also be on hand to demonstrate period skills such as fighting, blacksmithing, storytelling, and belly-dancing. Even if guests don't show up kitted out in their Renaissance finery, they can get in the spirit at the fair, where merchants will sell clothing, jewelry, weapons, and other accessories. There will also be Faries, Gypsies, bagpipes and a live joust.
