Description of Your Faire: We are the horse of a different color festival that makes up for its size with an intimate family vibe. We've got heart! Our appeal is to the people who like this sort of a smaller faire experience, so take a step back in time & visit our seaport town...Porto del mare...for two fun-filled days of merriment and mischief in Renaissance Italy. Stroll through the marketplace on a weekend full of food & beverage, where fortune telling, belly dancers, games, sea shanties, stage acts, and sword fights abound. Revel with the Seadogs, those scoundrelly scallywags & maestros of mayhem, and many fyne performers from near & far. We have two stages overlooking a vineyard and the quaint Tuscan Village streets and courtyards. The Tuscan Village, Lower Lake, CA . E mille e un incanto!
