Northern California Renaissance Faire
@ Casa De Fruta – Pacheco Pass, HWY 152
10031 Pacheco Pass Hwy Hollister, CA 95023
From Mid-September to the end of October on weekends every year you can visit the Renaissance Faire in Hollister.
Renaissance fairs were celebrated as festivals of spring. A celebration of the end of another harsh winter, and the promise of the rebirth of the land and the new crops to come. The essentials of mediaeval life that were celebrated every year between the end of winter and the beginning of spring. These periods of celebration of the end of winter and beginning of spring are reenacted in America and elsewhere in the world in the form of Renaissance Fairs that involve dressing up, entertainment and lots of food and drink presented to represent the period in history being celebrated. Renaissance faire is not only an educational experience of what life was like before computers, cinema, TV and rock & roll, but also great fun. As you take part, just take a little time to quietly think about the life of ordinary people in these bygone days, and how harsh it must have been in the winter for its ending to be celebrated in this fashion.
