The Maryland Renaissance Festival is here! The thirty-third season at Revel Grove in Crownsville, Maryland is back, full of fun and more importantly Cheesecake on a stick! Yummy!
For those that plan on attending the festival be sure to print out the discount coupon. You must hurry though, the coupon expires on September 14, 2009.
Entertainment Recommendations:
Hack and Slash - “Let the swooning begin!” This comedy team, with their love of ale, is one of my favorite acts at the Maryland Renaissance Festival. Swordplay, whip cracking, and a lot of laughs!
Swami Yohmahmi – Swami bills himself as the original slideshow geek. His act is PG-13 (Really!). Audience participation and a lot of laughs. Sadly, I have yet to see his show this year. In previous years this show made me glad I knew the answer is ‘42’ and that one should always let the Wookie win.
The Squire of the Wire: Michael Rosman – Michael’s show is comedy, juggling, and a high wire act. I’ve missed his act this year but thoroughly enjoyed it in previous years. Check out his promo video.
The Renaissance Man – Do not read your program during his show! Audience members are asked to volunteer for parts of his act. Comedy, improve, and a few bad but funny jokes.
A Fool Named “O” and “La-La” – Comedy show. O doesn’t say much but the audience participation, improv, and the comedy will keep you entertained!
Johnny Foxx – Johnny claims to have grown up in a circus. His sword swallowing, comedy and sleight of hand will amuse everyone in the family.
Jousting – A Renaissance Festival would not be complete without jousting. Here are some short video clips.
Food Recommendations:
- Cheesecake on a Stick!
- Turkey Leg
- Steak on a stake
- German Bratwurst with Sauerkraut.
The Maryland Renaissance Festival is fun for the whole family. My only complaint is there is not enough time to see all the shows! Plan on visiting numerous times to see all the high quality acts.
If you are unable to see them all check out my recommendations. You will not be disappointed!

Johnny Foxx totally has the technique down for quitting smoking! That clip of Micheal Rosman was hilarious too. Oh boy, I really hope I make it to this, what fun :)
