Midamerica Festivals

They have the same foods as the state fair dose anymore. There are very few actors on the street to make you smile and joke with you. Many of the buildings are falling apart and held up by re-bar and other not so period things. Many of the street are dressed in Victorian style corsets that are being sold out there. those things are both not period correct and technically there underwear. The festival has degraded so much in the passed few years it isn't worth my hard earned money to go out there when i get a better show at the mall of america and they have better food that hasn't been sitting around in the dirty outdated kitchens. Its no wonder some of there buildings burnt down. They don't invest any of the money they make into whats needed to keep that place in good shape. They just let it slowly rot away. People have become curt cold and shy. no one shouts at you or anything anymore. Most of the people i use to go to see are gone now too. A lot of people disappeared really fast. Its sad. I remember ten pounds for the king when you would pay with a ten dollar bill. no one dose that anymore. I remember when the buildings had color. Very few do now. I remember when the people had color. Now its a lot like a shopping mall with rotted buildings and a dirt road.....only you have to pay to go spend your money. dissapointed. more

What a day I was having at the Michigan Renaissance Festival, until we went to pick up our Wine. To hear some one named JASON, screaming and yelling at this man, over a radio, while we was trying to help my husband and me out. Then to tell him that some woman was going to more

The grounds were kept clean by the pick up crew...hey you have to hand it to them..They were great! ( I voulnteer out there) The lines start to get long during the afternoon..But people wait in the lines anyways just to get the great food, coz the MN renaissance festival comes only 7 weekends of the year!
