Illinois Renaissance Festival

Beverage, Food and Merchant Vendors

Come one, Come all! Lords and Ladies, Gentlemen and Goodwomen! Knaves and even guttersnipes to the finest marketplace and most worthy vendors in all of merry old England. King Henry VIII invites all in the land to join him this glorious festival weekend.

Be prepared, for pirates and cutpurses abound and the fine art of bartering is still alive and well in some areas of the bazaar. You'll find wares from near and far, so loosen the purse strings and pull out a farthing or two - you may wish to buy a bauble for your lady fair!
