This past July I attended opening weekend of the 29th annual Sterling Renaissance Faire. The weather was ideal and crowds were good. The site appears to be a no busking event. It is smaller in size and cast than some other festivals I've attended, but their participants actively interact with patrons and they have a nice variety of entertainments-some I have never seen before. The grounds are hilly and filled with trees and grass-in much greater ratios than most other places. Thus there is an illusion of being larger and denser than it actually is. The most distinctive impression of the faire is a feeling of peacefulness (atypical in other faires) even with a large attendance present.

The previous description and all these wonderful images are brought to you by Frank Hui. Because of his devotion, I have nothing to add. --Robyn Sotherby
