You may call it Larping or fun fairy style but I call it Cosplay so am all in for the upcoming 8th Annual San Jose Renaissance Faire and Fantasy Fest Downtown, San Jose, August 4-5, 2018. You can dress up as your own version of Snow White, Belle, Fairy Godmothers, Fay, gods of Valhalla, trolls and meet dragons all in Downtown San Jose this weekend (August 4-5, 2018) for a fun fantasy time. The fun weekend is welcoming to people of all ages but pets aren’t able to attend <wah> but for my NoCal friends hold have a blast with sights and sounds of the fantasy dreamworld come to life. The festival of imagination will be at Discovery Meadow Park that is a blending of historic fact, myth and popular fantasy. Be the knight, princess, king, queen, fairy, elf, pirate, villain, hero/heroine and just a happy dragon that is within! The San Jose Renaissance Faire and Fantasy Fest will include educational shows, performances, demos, costume contests, games and Artists and authors of the fantasy world will be attending. You can also enjoy shopping with delicious food, fantastical fashion, jewelry, swords, leather corsets, masks and many more handmade crafts that can be used to create the fantasy style of your dreams (it’s also a great opportunity to purchase items for cosplay and steampunk). Have your fortune told, rekindle your love by Sleeping Beauty’s coffin or help Hansel and Gretel find their way home. Hold court with princesses, untangle Rapunzel’s locks and play a game of wits with Rumpelstiltskin. Swap tales with the pirates or listen to bards telling stories of battles and adventures of the netherworld.
Knights of Mayhem will entertain with award winning jousting. Charlie Andrews, currently the reigning World’s Heavy Armor Jousting Champion brings with him competitors who will challenge him in the lyst. Join us for some hardest hitting jousting you’ll ever see! These amazing athletes will showcase the best of their Renaissance Sport with a blend of historical show and hardcore jousting.
