We will be traveling back in time to the 16th Century English Village of Albright. The gates open at 9:45 AM. Ticket are sold online and are date specific as well as being a valid reserved entry into the festival. Excess tickets will be sold at the gate if they are not sold-out. It is highly recommended that you purchase your tickets in advance. The cost is $24.95 for adults and $15.00 for children plus fees, taxes and processing cost (children under 6 years old are admitted free). The festival will take place rain or shine!!
For this weekend, there will be a Celtic theme and all are encouraged to attend in costume and be a part of the festivities. However, for those who are less theatrically inclined, all legal 21st Century garb will be acceptable at this family-friendly event. The Renaissance Festival is an opportunity to step back in time and experience Europe in the 16th century with shows, music, food, libations, demonstrations, education, crafts and vendors typical of that era.
As far as photographic equipment, a camera and a “walk-around lens” (24-70 MM) will be most helpful. Also, a wide angle zoom-lens (16- 35 MM) and a telephoto zoom (70-200 MM) could be useful as well. A tripod may be a safety hazard and an encumbrance walking around the festival grounds. However, a circular polarizer should be helpful if it is a sunny day. Wagons will be permitted as well as backpacks but they may be subjected to inspection at the gate. Also, sun protection with hats, long sleeve shirts, and sunscreen are highly recommended as is drinking plenty of water. Reusable water bottles will not be allowed but there will be stations to get water. If rain is in the forecast, a rain jacket for you and your equipment is advisable.
