In one month's time the Washington Midsummer Renaissance Faire will open its castle doors for the first three weekends in August, 3,4,14,10,11,17, 18, 10-7 on those days. It is under the management of the Washington Renaissance Arts and Education Society.Org located in Gig Harbor. Approximately 40 thousand people showed up to last year's faire located at. This is a good event to attend to get into the Halloween Season. Actors, Actresses from all over the State, and USA, arts, crafts, great food and wonderful equestrian shows. great sponsors like Tacoma News Tribune. This is a wonderful and safe family and friends event chock full of educational historical things and plain ole fun. We went with several families and the kids ran and played all day. I personally could not get my two sons out of the Game Matrix area, nor my husband out of the beer garden dressed in a pirate outfit! We had great fun. It's a good idea to wear comfortable shoes even if you dress in costume, but there are also plenty of vendors to buy duds from! Our family and friends highly recommend it!
