[QUOTE="Thornir Alekeg, post: 4169456, member: 15651"] I've attended King Richards in Massachusetts and the New York Ren Festival in Sterling, NY. They are very similar, but each has a different feel about them. Overall I prefer the New York Festival to King Richards for one simple reason. At King Richards I noticed the cast members often drop out of character when they are done with their show or scene. At the NY Ren Fest, they seem to always be in character when they are in the public areas. Craft-wise both are very similar. I think many of the vendors head to King Richards once the NY Ren Fest is over since it starts shortly after NY ends. There sre quite a bit of intersting hand-crafted items for sale. It is very dangerous for me to enter either of these fairs carrying a credit card. King Richards gets a slight edge since when I last went they had a real blacksmith forging swords. Food and drink I found were better in NY - it is a larger operation and has more choices, especially for my vegetarian wife. The only thing I really dislike about the NY Ren Fest is the timing. It runs from late June into mid August and it is almost always incredibly hot and humid. King Richards in September/October is much nicer for walking around, watching a show or a joust when there is not much shade. [/QUOTE]
