Tennessee Renaissance Festival Returns

Tennessee Renaissance Festival

by Samantha Hearn, Brentwood  Home Page

Hear ye, hear ye all Renaissance and Medieval fans. The Tennessee Renaissance Festival is back in Arrington with 16th Century England-inspired markets and activities every weekend in May.

The festival’s Village of Covington Glen comes alive with the bustle of a Renaissance Marketplace, with over 60 skilled artisans from all over the country displaying wares from silks to swords and gems to jewels. Specialty foods and drinks also greet festival-goers, and many people who attend are dressed head-to-toe in Renaissance garb.

Local vendor Julie Deason is working a booth at the festival called A Temptation of Faeries.

The Tennessee Renaissance Festival runs May 14, 15, 21, 22, 28, 29 and 30 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. It is located in Arrington at 2124 New Castle Road. Pets are not allowed.
