Entertainment, Entertainment, and MORE Entertainment!

I think it would be impossible to take part in every single aspect of the faire in one day. The amount of activities and live entertainment available was insane. From dancing to singing to acting the faire was filled with magicians, games, and art areas. If you wanted you could take part in archery, axe throwing, hair braiding, the Dragon Swing and plenty more.Walking through the faire, everywhere you look is another activity to take part of.

I was able to catch to new show Acrobatrix which was a two person comedy circus show. The show was full of so much energy and fun! Below are two videos I took during a show and a photo from right before she did a jump!

So not only was I able to walk and stop to watch any show I wanted, whatever interested me, I was able to take part in many activities. Just like it is mentioned in The Time Travelers Guide to Elizabethan England one of the most popular activities of the time was archery. Due to the Archery Act of 1542 "every man over the age of seventeen and under the age of sixty who is not lame or maimed, a nobleman, a clergyman, or a judge must keep a bow and four arrows in his house at all times of pay a fine of 6s 8d (Mortimer, page 292).

If you are 21 and over, an amazing time would come with taking part in the Pub Crawl for only $45. The alehouses and taverns are essential in Elizabethan England. The people loved their beer and wine so it only made sense to sell lots of beer around the pubs in the faire. With the beer you are getting the surreal experience of indulgences with the food, drink, music and conversation.

I am Armenian and as a part of my culture and a lot of Middle Eastern cultures it is very common and popular to take part in the social activity of smoking hookah. Therefore, whilst walking through the faire, I could not believe my eyes when I saw a Hookah tent. This made me laugh so hard, bringing me back to a moment of realization that hookah is not just something my family or friends do, but it’s a social activity everywhere.
