After more than a year of trial events and bated anticipation, it’s time for the first-ever Richmond Renaissance Faire this weekend, Saturday, April 18 + Sunday, 19, at Dorey Park. FYI: It’s very sold out. The event has taken off in popularity since its city-central launch last March. Now, with well over 100 vendors and performers in tow, we got to wondering — just how local will this Ren Faire feel? If the faire means to transport Richmond to an entirely new realm, will the neighborhood dive bars be there too? If GWARbar is home-sweet-home to you, you can count on a familiar face, as well as a turkey leg…
Introducing The Guilds
- For example: Local bicycle co-operative Rag & Bones was knighted into the Dragon Bones Guild as a representative of our city’s finest messengers, engineers, and fixer-uppers. See what complementary demonstrations the crew has in store.
