2008, What Faires are You Attending?

[Dustin]

Definitely going to Four Kingdoms RF, and Stronghold OEF is a possibility, depending on funds.

[Dallan]

Dallan do you and Lady Di plan on attending VARF any time next year?

Absolutely! We love VARF almost as much as MDRF. The last 3 years we have come for closing weekend. It's been Father's Day weekend as well. It coincided with both R/F and M'Crack Invasion weekends the last 2 years. At MDRF TJ announced that he was moving the VARF date. So I'm not sure exactly which weekend we'll be there yet. We may try to do more than one.

Have already attended:

TWIG old world faire
WIRF

In the process of MNRF

Looking forward to 2009 where mayhap will be attending AZRF.

I'm a newbie to faire, just this year and last at the MDRF... but I gotta have more.  Our season ends the weekend of Oct 17-18.  So how does one in the DC area stretch the season out?  Could anyone suggest an east coast grand loop of good faires?  I think our family's more the eat, drink, shop and "people-watch" type than historical re-enactors, if that's any help.  Thanks!

Me and my husband attends 4 different ones:

ST. Louis Renaissance fair in May
ST. Louis Pirate Festival in Sept


Tenn Renaissance fair in May

Louisiana Renaissance in Nov.


We hope to meet some of the members at these fairs.

[DragonWing]

Newbie to the fairs also. My first was MDRF last year
will be attending again this year but in garb, closing weekend. 
Would like to do the
PARF as well as MDRF next year. 

[lordwriothsley]

Well DragonWing for being a newbie to the ren faire world you chose well in choosing MDRF as your first Ren Faire.When I went there back a few years ago I was so amazed at what I saw and the people that I met that I have been wanting to go back for quite some time now.As for PARF I would love to go there one day and play with their nobles guild since I am a veteran noble myself and have been for the last few years.If you are ever in the Va area you should stop by the Va Ren Faire and check it out sometime.We are a small but growing faire but we overall we are a friendly bunch that will not only play for you but with you as well.

[Cyrano]

My smiling face will appear at...Four winds, Scarborough, Middlefaire and of course TRF

[Steev]

So it looks like VARF would cover me for Spring/Summer, MDRF can remain my Autumn haunt, plus I can hit PARF for closing weekend.  So what other faires can I work into my schedule to extend the season (or what eastern faires should not be missed...)?

[lordwriothsley]

I don't know of any eastern faires off the top of my head right now but I will say that TNRF and LARF are two faires that you probably won't want to miss.Hope that helps a little.

[Dallan]

There's Pittsburg in the fall and Carolina which runs into November. NCRF is in the spring. Go to the Forum home page to find more. http://www.renaissancefestival.com/festivals/map.php

[Peddlin]

Yes, don't forget CRF. Invasion is the last weekend (Nov 15 & 16), and I promise, it will be a sight to behold. We would love for you to join us.
