Review by William Crum
A Renaissance Festival preview held Thursday night at the festival grounds in Bonner Springs highlighted the excitement of fire dancers, the quaint and colorful medieval costumes, the magnificence of royalty, and the new dishes concocted for this season.
Costumed performers juggled fiery hoops while the festival’s royalty watched from balconies. Performers dressed in all walks of medieval life strolled through the grounds.
And the food designed for this year’s festival – a panini sandwich, pizza, turkey and dressing, and a hamburger – was very good.
The Renaissance Festival opens Saturday, Sept. 1, at 130th and State Avenue, Bonner Springs, and continues on weekends, plus Labor Day and Columbus Day, through Oct. 14.
The festival will be open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., and on Columbus Day, the hours will be 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
