Fishers Renaissance Faire, October 8th & 9th

By Steph Mineart

Topic: Events & Festivals

Posted: Fri, Sep 23, 2005

Fishers, Indiana is throwing it's first annual Renaissance Faire this year on the weekend of October 8 in Heritage Park.

The Faire will feature dozens of activities including short Shakespeare productions, jousting, fencing, sword combat, madrigal singers, gaming tournaments, story tellers, bards, and a royal court, as well as a kid's carnival area. There will be Renaissance merchants selling costumes, toys and games, pottery, swords and shields, and jewelry.

There are no pets allowed at the festival because a Falconer will be performing. Parking for the Faire will be at two remote parking sites, with shuttles to Heritage Park. Look for directional signs to free RenFaire Parking at intersections in Fishers. Admission is Adults: $5.00, Children 7-12: $2.00, Children 6 and under: Free.

There will be at least three IndyScribers attending, so expect some great pictures of this first-of-its-kind event.

A "falconer"? Someone with a hunting bird? Do they fear for other animals lives? Hrm.

Oh, and "Huzzah".

I'm not sure if they're worried the falcon will eat small pets (they are trained to capture rabbits and other small game) or if they're worried that a larger dog would go after the bird.

hello me and a couple of my friends live in eastern indiana, we are all aspiring bladesmiths, what are the requirements/costs to take part in the faire? will we need our own tent? and will we need any licensing to sell anything? i attended last year, and i think we could really add to the entertainment!
