The Tennessee Renaissance Festival is every weekend in May with the biggest weekend the three-day Memorial Day Weekend. With so many things to see and do, here are the top five things to do at the Tennessee Renaissance Festival.
Visitors who dress up for a ren faire have more fun! Find a costume, wear a cape over your jeans or put on a long skirt and peasant top and enjoy stepping back in time. You can always buy a fabulous Renaissance costume, jewelry and some accessories for next time shopping in the colorful tents throughout Covington Glen.
While some Renaissance musicians stroll the grounds of Covington Glen, the best way to enjoy the festival entertainment is to get a free program when you enter, find the various stages, and check the show schedule for the various forms of entertainment scheduled all day.
There is a decent variety of food on hand at the Tennessee Renaissance Festival, so bring some money for roasted corn on the cob, turkey legs, Scottish eggs, pierogies, hot dogs and other faire foods.
One of the highlights of the Tennessee Renaissance Festival is the jousting each day, culminating in the jousting tournament on Memorial Day. Where else can you see knights in shining armor atop noble steeds?
A tour of Castle Gwynn (or Castell Gwynn) is a must when you visit the Tennessee Renaissance Festival. Located on the same property but across the road, the beautiful castle is a quick bus ride away.
