August 29, 2012 By Dayton Most Metro Leave a Comment

The KamiKaze FireFlies

On Saturday September 1, the 2012 Ohio Renaissance Festival begins – a 30-acre re-created 16th Century English village where you can enjoy over 400 years of fun in a single day! Featuring nearly 100 shows daily on 11 stages, over 150 costumed characters, over 135 unique arts and crafts shops, hearty food and drink fit for Kings, games of skill and human-powered rides to amuse all ages, the Ohio Renaissance Festival offers something for everyone!

Tickets are $16.99 for adults, $8.99 for children (5-12) when purchased online, with family combo packs and season passes available as well.  Click here for details.

Entertainment

The Ohio Renaissance Festival features over 100 shows daily on 11 stages. Hold your breath watching the dueling swordsmen, daring fire jugglers. Shriek with laughter at the hilarious Mudde Show! Enjoy the strolling minstrels or sit down in the Aleing Knight Pub for toe-tapping tunes.

Thrill to the death-defying full armored joust!  Hard hits delivered three times each day by the gallant knights and gorgeous steeds of the Knights of Valour, led by World Champion and host of TV’s “Full Metal Jousting”, Shane Adams.

The KamiKaze FireFlies will amaze audiences with their comedic adventures of juggling, fire eating, tricks, and tomfoolery. Don’t miss the grand finale! A bologna sandwich will be made with an interesting utensil by the world-record holder himself.

 

Enjoy meeting the villagers of Willy-Nilly as you browse through the quaint village. Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth I graces the village as she visits on progress and is always excited to meet you!

Plus – dozens of games and rides for kids of all ages.
