Illinois Renaissance Faire: August 25-26; Queens, Knights, and Turkey Legs



The clash of steel, melody of the lute, buzz of the bazaar, and smell of juicy roasted turkey legs will greet visitors to the Illinois Renaissance Faire this year at Ellsworth Park in Danville, IL on the weekend of August 25-26.

In addition, magicians, pirates, artisanal crafts, music and dance, storytellers, and more will greet visitors to the historical village re-created in a beautiful wooded setting along the North Fork of the Vermillion River.
