DETAILS: If you've ever wanted to pretend that you live in the Renaissance period, then you won’t want to miss the Maryland Renaissance Festival. Once you buy your tickets and enter the “village,” you’ll enter a completely different world and age: Everyone is wearing period garb, eating period food, and participating in period activities. 

If you want to look like you belong, head to the costume rental, where you can pick out your very own Renaissance clothing. You’ll also be able to pick out all the right accessories to fully complete your new look. 

Once you’re in costume, wander around and grab some food. You can find an entire list of food vendors here, but get ready for fresh Renaissance "takes" on all your favorite festival grub! As you make your way around the village grounds, you’ll be exposed to all sorts of entertainment, too -- from jugglers to musical performances to acrobats, and much more. 

In its 42nd year, the Maryland Renaissance Festival has more than 200 professional seasonal employees. Check out more information about the festival here
