The Utah Renaissance Festival and Fantasy Faire continues this weekend! The event is located at Millcreek Hollow, 3109 West Pioneer Road in the beautiful village of Marriott-Slaterville. Only 25 minutes north west of Salt Lake City, the Utah Renaissance Festival is a lot of fun. This year the Festival features full contact jousting, music by Lady of the Lake, the legendary Royal Magick, the incredible talents of the Rovin’ Boozers, the amazing Yom al Had Band, home town favorites Gypsy Magik, the delightful Puppet Mania, the inimitable Cranachan and the comedic exploits of the Outlaws. Dozens of other outstanding performers and musicians will be on hand to revel and entertain patrons! The gates open at 10 AM daily and close at 6:30 PM. This is a great opportunity for photographers as there are many interesting people dressed up and usually more than willing to have their photos taken. Check out my photos from last year’s Festival on Flickr.
