AZ starts the season for some of the best (IMHO) National acts on the circuit: Hey Nunnie Nunnie, Ziltch the Tory Seller, Don Juan and Miguel, Clan Tinker, London Broil, Cast in Bronze, and many many more. The street acts include Fireflicker, Twig, the Green Man and some awesome musicians. Unique to AZ is Lady Tess and the Mayor's spice trade talk.  Lady Tess gives a demonstration about proper court dress in the Elizabethan era, we visit her show every time we go to this festival and learn something new each time. The mayor gives a very informative talk on the perils and profits of the spice trade during the Renaissance. We have also gone the the Pleasure Feast and few times and that is money well spent. If you go to the new mermaid exhibit, go early in the day, the lines are very long int the afternoon. My wife enjoys the shopping and each year, there seems to be a new shop she finds.  Hope this helps.
