Northern California Renaissance Faire

A weekend renaissance faire held at Casa de Fruta in Hollister, California, built around the fictional village of Willingtown, which welcomes Queen Elizabeth and Sir Walter Raleigh. Streets and stages are filled with peasants, constables, washerwomen and performers presenting traditional music, dance and comedy, alongside an artisans marketplace, food and drink vendors, and games and activities for children and adults. The Queen's Royal Joust performs at the Tournament of Horses Arena, where knights compete with lances, swords and shields in games of skill, included with general admission.
