See you this weekend in Eminence, Kentucky as Aloysius Fox and the Steampunk Empire Symposium take part in the Kentucky Renaissance Festival’s Steampunk, Magic and Kaboom weekend (June 23rd & 24th, 2012). Aloysius will be greeting guests and overseeing the Steampunk Costume Contest this weekend.
The Highland Renaissance Festival is a permanent Renaissance festival located on former farmland in Eminence and set in the fictional early 14th century village of Briarwood in the Highlands of Scotland in the time when Robert the Bruce ruled.
The festival features vendors and artisans who offer an assortment of hand-crafted items. During the festival, a cast of actors portrays life as it would existed during this time. Stage entertainment includes a mud show, storytellers, a renaissance-themed science show, armored jousting, a circus-style sideshow and musicians performing historical and original songs. Throughout the festival there are family oriented activities such as craft demonstrations, human-powered rides, games and shows. An enclosed pub provides food, drinks, and more.
