Renaissance Faire in Des Moines celebrates end of COVID-19 ‘plague’
The 16th annual Des Moines Renaissance Faire opens this afternoon as a way to celebrate the end of the “plague” of COVID-19.
Festival director Gregory Schmidt says they’re expecting several thousand visitors for the three-day event and safety is still on everyone’s mind, especially in the tent village where retailers will be selling a variety of handmade leather goods, pottery, jewelry, medieval weapons, and more.
“Some of them will require a facemask if their tent gets too full of shoppers,” Schmidt says. “We don’t require facemasks. We encourage that but don’t require that for entering. We have sanitizers everywhere and we have a huge space. We’re dealing with almost 50 acres.”
One of the few annual Des Moines metro events that wasn t called off in 2020, the Des Moines Renaissance Faire, is preparing to celebrate the End of the Plague May 14-16.
More than 100 touring performers and about 200 costumed village characters will interact with guests and pose for photos in various settings.
Also on the itinerary: a production of Romeo and Juliet by Lorenzo Sandoval of the Iowa Shakespeare Experience, multiple outdoor museums, a carousel, craft demonstrations, costume contests, treasure hunts, an artisan merchant market, and more. Ales, mead and period food also will be available including, of course, turkey legs.
Billed as the metro s Best Family Fest, the 16th Des Moines Renaissance Faire will be held, as it was last August, at its new site at the Puttmasters-at-the-Pines event park at 2977 N.W. 66th Ave. near Saylorville.
