Would love to do a TX faire.  We went to Scarborough for the RenDezvous, a long time ago, and loved it! 

But we heard that Sherwood Forest is great, too, and don't know if we want to try there or go back to Scarby.  Our favorite thing to do at faire is to watch the musical acts.  The more, the better.  Then a little shopping,  but almost entirely for the music  at any faire we visit.

For those in the know, which would you suggest, based on our love of music?  Thanks!

I believe that Scarby might have an edge on number of musical acts, but their 2018 schedule isn't out yet. 

Sherwood Forest needs to be experienced at least once. It's a lovely faire, and somewhat different from other faires we've been to. Since their schedules now overlap, you COULD do both in a weekend.

We will pick up our Scamp camper the beginning of April and have decided to drive to Texas and do Sherwood one weekend and Scarborough the next.  Thanks for everyone's imput.  Maybe we'll see you there?

If you haven't visited Sherwood yet then you should plan a trip at least once. The faire is much smaller than Scarby, but it has its own atmosphere and feel. I highly recommend it. Plus, Camping. No camping at Scarby unless you use an outside campground.

Scarb has actually cut the number of music performers this season. Go to Sherwood.
