We get to the festival when the gates open because we enjoy being greeted by the Royal Court and we enjoy shopping before the crowds thicken. When the festival grounds start to get crowded it’s time for us to kick back with a cold hard cider and find a show or two to watch. We love tasting a variety of different food items at the festival including artichoke dipped in hot butter, meat on a stick, turkey legs and we always share a cold pickle. Win 4 tickets to the Colorado Renaissance Festivl, childrens section This week, you have the chance to win FOUR tickets to the Colorado Renaissance Festival from HeidiTown.com.

In the comment section just tell me your favorite thing about this festival and you’ll be entered. If you’ve never been, tell me why you want to go. The winner will be chosen at random on Friday, July 3, 2015 at 3 p.m.  Because of the holiday weekend, I will give the winner through Monday evening to respond before contacting the runner up. Good luck!

  4. I haven’t been since I was a kid and would love to take my kids

  5. I’ve never been, my children have been but I have not. I want to because it’s my people. I want to dress up and see the sights. I’ve never seen a joust and I’d like to. I want to visit with the fairies that I’ve liked on Facebook in person. I want to check out the wares. And yeah a giant turkey leg sounds good. I’m the type to check out everything Colorado has to offer and the fact that I’ve never been is kind of sacrilege. But summer is rough financially as I’m an educator raising two kids on my own. I’m pretty crafty in how I get around to doing things with my boys, but Ren faire has always been something out of reach for me.

  7. The turkey legs are phenomenal and the actors are amazing! Last time I went here 25 years ago, I had my Palm read. My results were that I would marry the guy I went with (not even going out with him at the time lol) well it became true and we were married 1 year after that festival 😉 25 years later and it would be cool to have my Palm read again. Thanks for putting on such a wonderful event.

  11. So many wonderful memories! My favorite was when I saw Robin Hood and said, “Hey, it’s Robin Hood!” and he heard me and came over and asked me to please keep it on the down low that he was there. He then proceeded to give my daughter a fascinating lesson about the various arrows in his quiver. <3

  23. I’ve never been, but I would love to try it out. I work for a school district and don’t have my income during the summer, so we don’t do many fun things if they cost money. This would probably be our only chance to go.

  24. My favorite part is the costumes, my whole family dresses up when we visit.!

  27. I just picked up a flyer at King Soopers for the RF. Jax was looking at this morning. It has been 4 – 5 years since we have been. I personally enjoy the shows, especially the comedy shows. There was a duo Puke & Snot I believe was the name, that had me laughing hysterically. I think Jax would enjoy it even more now that he has been in a few acting productions, as well.

  28. Because I am a surgical nurse, I live in blue scrubs all day every day and I never get the chance to dress up. RenFaire gives me the chance to let loose, be someone else for a day, dress up, and forget the stress of my job. My husband and I absolutely love going together. It’s our favorite part of the summer! Thank you for the chance to win.

  51. We’ve never been to this one. We are planning on taking the kiss to their first big renaissance festival in Denver this year. We have some here in New Mexico, but they are small. My 6 year old daughter is especially excited to wear her renaissance dress I bought her this year. We can’t wait and will see you there either way!

  58. 21 years ago (yikes!) I bought a sterling silver toe ring there and have had it on since, so the festival hooks a place in my heart! I don’t have the income to do a lot of things for my sons, but I took them last year and they still say it was one of the best days of their life. I so want to share it with them again! ~Shere

  59. Getting a henna tattoo with my daughter was our favorite time together at the Ren Faire.

  60. I love going to the faire because it strangely connects me to my family back home in Texas. We would go every year and when I married, I didn’t see them for almost 5 years because we were stationed in Hawaii. Now, I live here in Colorado and I get to see so many familiar acts and vendors that makes me feel closer to home!

  61. This has been on our family’s summer bucket list for years. Seeing big maginificent dresses in a fairy tale setting up close sounds so magical to me and my family!

    Reply

  62. This is an annual family favorite in my house. We love everything about the Colorado Ren Faire! From Turkey lets and artichokes to tea parties with the princesses and hennas tattoos.. it’s one event not a single family member has to be bribed into going (and sometimes they’ll dress up too!) – My favorite – cinnamon almonds and all the artisans.
