The Bristol Renaissance Faire is close to several cities in the Midwest and located right on the Illinois and Wisconsin border. Bristol has won serval national awards for its historical immersion that runs Saturdays and Sundays from July 11 - September 7 (Labor Day).
Here at Bristol, you find yourself in 1574 as Queen Elizabeth I comes to visit her people. Relax in the shade of the trees on hot summer days and watch as to village comes to life. The Bristol Renaissance Faire features street theater performances and continuous interaction with guests.
Highlights of events include world-class acrobats, minstrel groups, and aerialists. The stage is set throughout the weekends for lighthearted games of skill games and combat. Look for knightly adventures in the jousting arena several times daily, in addition to a visit from the queen.
In between the shows and performances sample some of the items from farmers' markets in Kenosha and Southeast Wisconsin offering food and refreshments. Then, mingle among the vendors and shops featuring goods that support local and regional community organizations.
