卡罗莱纳文艺复兴节

欢迎来到费尔黑文!

You’ve no doubt heard of a 文艺复兴时期的节日, and I’m sure the name alone gives you at least an idea of what it entails, 如果你以前没去过的话. If you’re lucky enough to be visiting or living in the 夏洛特 area during early Fall, you should strongly consider checking this one out. 平均约200人,每年有000人参加, the Carolina Renaissance Festival is one of the largest in the country!

在入口处, you’ll be welcomed into the mythical town of Fairhaven, where you will not only see and interact with many village folk like the Singing Milkmaid Trio and the Town Mayor, you’ll also have the option to play a part in their show! 在就, every visitor can choose to play their own role and interact with the characters, or simply sit back and watch the magic happen. This is a place where history and fantasy mesh together to create an encapsulated experience; Visitors will learn much about the true history of those who lived through the Renaissance period, and will also be surrounded by fun mythical creatures like Greenman – a talking tree, 仙女和美人鱼.

Daily activities like horseback jousting, circus-style entertainers, and comedy acts are all around. There’s music and dancing, and twelve stages for numerous acts to perform. 如果你喜欢艺术和本地购物, you’ll be pleased with the many artists like potters, 铁匠, 蜡烛制造商, 雕塑家, 珠宝商, and a ton more that bring their fine craftsmanship to display and sell.

想要真的 be a participant in the whole experience? There are so many unique and one-of-a-kind games and rides that you just won’t find anywhere else. Ever ridden the world’s largest rocking horse? 或者骆驼? 向镇上的农民扔蔬菜? (那个听起来有点刻薄, 但是,嘿, if you want to immerse yourself in the world of the renaissance, 这就是做这件事的方法。. At the Carolina Renaissance Festival, you can do all of that and more. Do you vaguely remember learning at some point in your childhood that Da Vinci had a hand in creating some of the earliest flying machines, 比如扑翼机(这是一个历史), 不是神话，信不信由你)? Well, here, you will have the chance to ride one.

Maybe you’re not into all the games and the faeries…fine. Maybe you’re like me, and tend to slip out, “Will there be food?” as your first criteria question when someone invites you to any event, ever. If that’s the case, you’ll be more than happy with the answer: Oh, yes. 肉串，再好不过了? 汤, 炖菜, 精酿啤酒也可以买到, as well as other seemingly endless options…corn, 土豆, 辣椒, MAC和奶酪, 沙拉…甚至披萨. 那家商店向 my 心最? The one serving smoothies and mimosas…the “Crown Pub”. Seriously, I couldn’t be happier with the menu if I had come up with it myself.

一年只开放八个周末, Fairhaven awaits your arrival from the beginning of October to just before Thanksgiving. 来一次时光倒流的旅行, but be sure to bring those new-fangled devices they call “cell phones” with you, so you can take plenty of photos and videos to share with us. 请看以下前几年的情况!
