The Magic & Pageantry
Returns to Beautiful Folsom City Lions Park
A spectacle of fun and excitement!
 The rising young star of London’s theatre scene, Will Shakespeare, faces a scourge like no other: a paralyzing bout of writer’s block while the great Elizabethan age of entertainment unfolds around him. Will is without inspiration on material. What Will needs is a muse–and in an extraordinary town whilst on progress with Her Most Royal Majesty, Queen Elizabeth, he finds himself surrounded by numerous quirky characters who draw him into an amazing, dramatic adventure of action and love. Their stories make their way into his plays and into our hearts. The theme of the Faire is Shakespeare’s Muse.
 Over October 16th and 17th, 2010, the Folsom City Lions Park will be transformed to a delightful Elizabethan town filled with myriad characters and vignettes resembling those of Shakespeare’s plays we so dearly love. In addition, over 900 costumed entertainers and over 100 shopkeepers and artisans will add to the ambience of the Faire.The Festival will be the ultimate Renaissance bash, a lively Dionysian party, where the guests enjoy turkey legs, exotic food, and drink as they banter with the myriad performers filling the streets. The event sports one-of-a-kind shows, music, and comedy.
THE JOUST!
One of the Weekend’s highlights will be the Knights of Avalon, a full contact jousting troupe made up of Internationally acclaimed heavy armor competitors who actually do this for REAL. The onlookers will be astounded by the action of the hard-hitting lance – splitting jousting and the humorous interplay.
Hundreds of pounds of man and a ton of horse will collide and do battle right before your eyes.
