The Pittsburgh Renaissance Festival is open this&nbsp;season;&nbsp;due to Covid-19&nbsp;the 2020 season was canceled. Now you can have a day of fun back in time&nbsp;in the rebirth of the world, make sure you get your tickets.&nbsp;For those who&nbsp;do not&nbsp;know the Renaissance Era&nbsp;took place in Europe. The Era lasted from&nbsp;the 14<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;century to&nbsp;the&nbsp;17<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;Century. The wonderful era&nbsp;was the growth of art, culture,&nbsp;as well as politics and&nbsp;economics.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I had the pleasure of talking to some students in the school about the ren faire. I asked the following questions&nbsp;<em>\u201cHave you ever been to the Pittsburgh Renaissance Festival? Would you ever plan to go? How was your experience? What booths and shows would you recommend<\/em>?\u201d&nbsp;First,&nbsp;I asked Mrs. Violet&nbsp;Gorgas, she responded \u201c<em>I have gone once. I do plan&nbsp;to go&nbsp;again. When I went everyone was very friendly and managed to hold their character. The booths I would recommend are any that sell artwork. The artwork is exceptionally beautiful and worth the money.\u201d&nbsp;<\/em>Lovely feedback from violet. Then I asked a&nbsp;non-faire goer, Mrs. Sarah&nbsp;Spatafore, Her Response, \u201c<em>I have never been there, I would plan to go. It seems like it could be fun seeing all the&nbsp;shops, actors, and music groups.\u201d<\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The season starts September 4<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;including&nbsp;Labor Day&nbsp;until&nbsp;October 10<sup>th<\/sup>. Tickets are only $24 per&nbsp;adult, $12 for kids ages 5-12 and free for any kid under 5.&nbsp;The fun never stops with shows like Jousting and the&nbsp;Washing&nbsp;Well Wrenches!&nbsp;The Washing Well Wrenches is a&nbsp;comedy act that gives you a good laugh, being my favorite preference at the Faire.&nbsp;Bring a raincoat because when&nbsp;they are&nbsp;cleaning their&nbsp;laundry,&nbsp;they try to clean you too.&nbsp;The Jousting&nbsp;is a well performed show with actors and&nbsp;actresses, the show is an&nbsp;action-packed&nbsp;show with the feel as if you&nbsp;were&nbsp;in&nbsp;the era.&nbsp;A&nbsp;good daredevil show&nbsp;that\u2019s action filled&nbsp;and has you on the edge of your seat is&nbsp;Dragonfire! The show is a&nbsp;well put on show with fire&nbsp;manipulation.&nbsp;Get Ye tickets fast!&nbsp;They&#8217;re&nbsp;sold at the gate as well as online&nbsp;at&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/pittsburghrenfest.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/pittsburghrenfest.com\/<\/a>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-rounded\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"484\" src=\"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/image.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-636\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/image.png 600w, https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/image-300x242.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-rounded\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"593\" height=\"397\" src=\"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/image-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-637\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/image-1.png 593w, https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/image-1-300x201.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 593px) 100vw, 593px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Alex Nulph&nbsp; This&nbsp;one tiny trip will take you on a magical adventure filled with&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":642,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-628","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-features"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/628","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=628"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/628\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":643,"href":"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/628\/revisions\/643"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/642"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=628"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=628"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lenapetechtimes.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=628"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
