The Georgia Renaissance Festival
For eight weekends every spring, The Georgia Renaissance Festival brings a 16th-century European country faire to the Atlanta area. With nearly 1,000 characters wearing period costumes, The Georgia Renaissance Festival offers visitors everything from jousting tournaments to glass-blowing demonstrations to sword-swallowing shows. Performers at The Georgia Renaissance Festival include acrobats, jugglers, magicians, dancers and wandering minstrels. There's also a birds of prey show.
In addition to live entertainment, The Georgia Renaissance Festival features games, rides and children's activities, among them a haunted ship and a rock climbing wall. A 32-acre Artisans Market at the Georgia Renaissance Festival hosts a number of arts and crafts demonstrations, including weaving, spinning and coin minting. Pubs and shops at The Georgia Renaissance Festival sell turkey legs and other goodies.
The Southeast Tourism Society recognizes The Georgia Renaissance Festival as one of the top 20 events in the southeastern U.S. The Georgia Renaissance Festival is available for birthday parties, weddings and other private events.
