Want to go back to the 1600s for a few days? No, you don’t need the time machine. You just need to visit Harveysburg in Ohio as they are having this Renaissance Festival. They turned their little town into a real Medieval English Village.

The whole event is taking place over a thirty acre land. Lots of things happening there. They have built twelve stages and more than hundred shows are taking place on these stages. There are also hundred and thirty skilled crafters ready to show you their skills. They bring items that are only suitable for that era. They are all handmade items and the materials they have used to build the items are all the same materials used in the Medieval times.

But first, you may want to take a look at these knights and what they are up to. Wearing their shiny armours and armed with their lances they get engaged in jousting. This will get your adrenaline going and hurt pumping faster. Pure excitement. You can also watch the pirates battling and the fire eaters showing their skills.

As for the crafts and arts, you will see how blacksmiths used to do their job. Glass blowing, leather crafting ,woodworking and jewellery making will be demonstrated along with many others. This is one of those unique experiences that everyone in the family can enjoy together.
