A friend and I attended the Renaissance Festival in Kansas City on Labor Day. Since we live in the St Louis area, it was an easy day trip of around 4 ½ hours each way.
We heard about the fair when we attended the St Louis Renaissance Festival in Wentzville last year.
It was a great time with many things to do and see. There were stage acts, musicians, events and shows. There were many actors and attendees dressed in Renaissance period clothing as well as those dressed as Faeries, blue people from the popular movie “Avatar”, witches, and much more.
There were also rides and games for children, as well as many booths with food, fascinating items for sale, including period clothing.
The festival is in its 34th season and runs from September 4th – October 17th in 2010.
If you are looking for a day or weekend getaway, this event is great! You will not want to miss this festival!
From the St Louis area, take Highway 70 West through Kansas City to Bonner Springs at the Sandstone Amphitheatre exit and follow the signs and banners.
