Renaissance festival begins summer activities

The Connector by : The Connector

This year, the Georgia Renaissance Festival hosted activities like archery, rock climbing, ax and knife throwing, drench-a-wench and other competitive games that were fun for watching the 150 daily shows, like knights jousting and comedic juggling acts. The Georgia Renaissance Festival is known for roasted turkey legs, macaroni on a stick and Merlins’ Magical Cinnamon Almonds.
