Still, the question remains: do they have metal detectors/wands at the Renaissance? Anybody know?
I went about 2 years ago. I remember them checking bags but no metal detectors. Sorry if that is less than useful. I plan to go this year if I can score coupons so I am interested if it was different last year. Love the blacksmith knives and other blacksmith goodies

I've missed the last two years due to work but every other time it was a bag check only. Water only, no other food or drinks. Just be smart about it. I'm going opening weekend this coming sunday and will have my j frame in my pocket. I'll check in and report if there is anything different.
Jack Dupp, can't help but picture you as the balding guy who still wears his high school varsity jacket with that attitude lol.

LOL. Wrong on both accounts. Still have all of my luscious locks...That dang festival has been the bane of my existence for the last 27 years.
If you live anywhere near there I can see it being a giant pain. I Live on S Ellsworth maybe a mile from the 60 and thought .. meh .. I will be there in no time. Shoot I didn't get much past the Walmart and it was sitting traffic all the way to the front gate of the festival. I think it took about an hour.
Like I said .. they checked my camera bag but I was armed and no one wanded me.

Went today, had a blast. One sheriff deputy at the front gate just people watching and another in his vehicle that I noticed. Random bag checks it seemed (maybe because of the opening weekend crowd), buddies diaper bag got checked but me and my little 10L day bag walked right on through. Had my J frame in my pocket all day. No problems at all :handgestures-thumbupleft: .

"Can we bring outside food and drink? You may bring one - 16 to 24 ounce factory sealed bottle of water in with you. No other food or drink is permitted."
"Are we allowed to wear weapons? Costume swords and daggers are permitted as long as they are properly sheathed and peace tied by our safety services personnel at the main entrance."
Seems they're more worried about someone using a fake sword or not being able to sell their $12.50 'turkey legs' to people...

I wonder if they would say anything about a TRUMP shirt or hat? BTW, thank Jesus I don't live out that way anymore, it always made traffic a nightmare for the months it was active...could only drive west in the mornings and east in the evenings so I had to plan accordingly and not head back home until much later in the day. Absolute mess.

In the past, I have always carried at the Renfest, usually a Glock in an IWB holster.
For the past couple of years, I've started wearing a costume. It kind of made it close to impossible to carry...but I *do* carry a full-sized *real* sword, so...that's something.
