The Festival of the Fae

The Festival of the Fae is a renaissance fair and fantasy market in Columbus, Mississippi, founded by Wesley Stewart and billed as the city's first Renaissance Fair. Visitors find handmade goods from local artisans, food vendors, games and prizes, axe throwing and a costume contest, with imaginative dress encouraged for all ages. The organisers count two years of events and more than 15,000 attendees, and run spring and winter festivals as well as a separate Little Sturgis Renaissance Faire held elsewhere in Mississippi.
