El espectáculo fue muy divertido si estuviera serrado totalmente y el frío no entrará hubiese sido de lo mejor

I love the Renaissance Faire that the Gates Family puts on every year. I am so looking forward to the other events in 2025, the Vikings and Pirate Festival.

Massive location with some pretty awesome events. LOVED the Renaissance Fair!!! This will be a yearly event for me now- it was so unique with such fun creative vendors and awesome food trucks. I was always nervous about attending one of these because I thought you had to dress up and you don’t at all! But it’s definitely a ton of fun and accepted if you do. Every corner you take it’s like being in a different village, from pirates, fairies, to gypsies to kings and queens- it’s a phenomenal experience unlike any other I’ve had at the fair grounds. 🙂

This was the most jam packed county fairs I've ever been to, it was bigger than most state fairs. My family went to see the demolition derby. It was in an open ended arena so the sound was deafeningly loud, it was wild! It was intense and definitely didn't disappoint. The rides were large and beautiful to look at and terrifying to ride I'm sure lol.

*Edit* I forgot to mention: Do not buy into the VIP seating! It is at the top of the bleachers and I had purchased VIP seating and there was nowhere to sit. Whoever go there first sat up there. There was a banner across the top that said VIP. No one ran or managed the "VIP" seating. It also said online that they were "sold out" and all that was left was VIP. To buy tickets now and save. Don't buy at the gate in case show is sold out. Well there was a lot of people there but I assure you it wasn't sold out. I don't remember how much tickets where at the gate. That part felt like a scam. You can see in my pictures, it clearly was not sold out.

We went to the Monster Truck Wars. We had a blast. A ton of people attended the event. Long lines for food and drinks but that is to be expected with a big crowd. There were only 2 concession stands on each side open. It is March and rainy weather so it was chilly inside so bring warm clothes.
Make sure when you're looking for a place to sit that you steer clear of sitting on the wrong side of the stairs because it blocks your view.
The right side of the stadium had less people so we ended up moving over to that side and had a way better view.
Also, food was cash only so make sure to take cash. ATM machine was $5.00 to get cash.
The kids loved the show. We had a blast.
$10.00 for parking during that event. We had to park kinda far and walk. It wasn't too bad.
You can see in the third picture where we were sitting next to the gate. If the show was right in front of us it was fine but anything further down our view was obstructed. The first two pictures were taken after we moved.

We went to the Renaissance Faire and had a great time! Unfortunately, the rain was heavy, but we still had fun watching some knights battle, tasting mead, and enjoying the various, merchants, characters, and everyones costumes!
