Renaissance Festival Opens "Joust For You"
For the past 26 years The Colorado Renaissance Festival has provided millions of visitors the opportunity toreturn to the 16th Century to enjoy the music, mirth, merriment, and chivalry of Merry Olde England. Open June 14 - August 3rd to a theme of "Joust For You", the Festival appeals to all age groups who wish to spend a fun-filled day returning to the past. Located on a 350-acre wooded site in Larkspur, the Festival's realm will be open for eight weekends.
Hi-lighting the 2003 Festival are sensational new acts that include Cast in Bronze - a unique musical adventure featuring the "Carillon", a rare medieval instrument of bells weighing four tons; Theatre of Fools, The Wacky Chicken Show-olde-world humor of clowning, mine and magic that will have you 'clucking" in your seat; The Washing Well Wenches - Good clean fun from wet, dirty women; Throw Up Comedy & Juggling-eye-popping skill and side-splitting comedy; and The World's Largest Rocking Horse.
Returning favorites include the ever-popular Puke and Snot performing comical antics on the Pirates Ship Stage; Ded Bob and his dummy Smudge provide "dedly" humor that will tickle your funny bone, and the amazing and amusing Rick Stratton Hypnotist Show. For the athletic-at-heart, a climbing wall features five levels of difficulty to "hang" around the Festival.
Festival-goers will enjoy a 16th century marketplace filled with over 200 artisans and food and drink fit for a king, plus seven stages offering 60 continuous acts daily. Children will delight in the free petting farm; face painting, hair braiding, and rides such as the giant swing and Leonardo de Vinci's Flying Machine.
