Mobile Renaissance Faire November 12-13 2011
The 10th annual Mobile Renaissance Faire takes place November 12-13. Don’t miss your chance to witness jousting tournaments, sword fighting and SCA battles. Of course this festival is not just limited to fighting. Magical Wizards, Falconry, Jesters, Jugglers, Arabian Dancers, and Fire Breathers all ply their trades to entertain the crowds.
Traditional medieval costuming plays a large role in the renaissance festival. At the Jousting tournament you can observe the King and Queen in their regal attire. Knights and jousters can also be recognized by their elaborate costumes. You will also see many people dresses up in less elaborate or commoner outfits. Now everyone can be a queen or a knight and the renaissance festival does a great job of highlighting the social hierarchy of the period. Hours of time and research go into the details of these period specific outfits. Many of the participants put hours of labor into hand creating their costumes. Visitors to the faire are encouraged to come in costume and further immerse themselves in the experience.
Don’t have a costume? Not to worry! Their will be several merchant booths set up at the faire selling wares from medieval clothing and weaponry to traditional medieval foods. Mobile’s annual Renaissance Faire will be held at the Abba Shrine Temple, located at 7701 Hitt Road. Festival hours are 10am-6pm and admission prices are $10.00 for adults and $5.00 for children 5-11. Children under the age of five are admitted free. Bring your family for a fun filled action packed educational experience at the Mobile Renaissance Festival!
