The Renaissance Festival is a fun annual event every year fall in Kansas City. It's a great cultural activity and each of the weekends has it's own theme and the events are geared around that theme. There is entertainment for all ages, so bring the entire family. There are often discount coupons available in the Entertainment book and other areas so it is pretty affordable for a day of fun. Bring you wallet though--tons of vendors selling crafts, toys, artwork, clothing, food, etc. One note of caution: don't go right after it has rained, the place can be a mud hole!
