I would have to say Bristol is great!. I just moved to Chicago, so this is the first year I've been to it and it was a lot of fun!.

There are 2 really fun ones in Texas that I've been to: The one in Plantersville Texas is cute (http://www!.texrenfest!.com/), and then there's The Scarborough Fair in Waxahachie outside of Dallas (http://www!.scarboroughrenfest!.com/info/d!.!.!. They are running theirs in April and May of 2009!.!.!. I have been a few times to this one and they out-do themselves every year!. They have a great cast year after year, and never fail to perform!.

And the Colorado Renn Fest is awsome too, though I might be a bit biased!.!.!. I worked there for 3 years (yes, I'm a dirty Renny! lol)!. They had some problems a few years back with the owner (Jim Paradise) and the City of Larkspur!.!.!. something about water rights and taxes!.!.!. many of the regular faces boycotted it until they figured it out!. Apparently things got settled and everything is running as it should! You couldn't beat the setting here though!.!.!. in the mountains and BEAUTIFUL scenery!

I haven't been to any outside the US though!. :(

Oh- and make sure you always go in costume!.!.!. the cast will interact with you more and you can get free stuff sometimes!.!.!. not to mention that wearing a bodice can make you feel oh-so-wenchy! LOL

Have fun! :)Www@QuestionHome@Com

I have been to Bristol only and I live like 1 hour away!. From the pictures I've seen its better than most because i was like 10 years old!. My favorite part was when the people threw live rats in the air and the Hawk would catch them The other one i have been to was one in New york but I forgot what it was called it wasn't as great as Bristol!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I was going to say Bristol!. I hear the one is TX is pretty good too, but I haven't been there!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
