The Renaissance Festival is a medieval outdoor amusement park, a 50-acre circus, an arts and crafts fair, a Jousting Tournament, and a feast, all rolled into one non-stop, day-long, family adventure. Designed to be reminiscent of a 16th-century English village, the festival fairgrounds feature a 16-stage theater, regularly scheduled daily jousting tournaments, Birds of Prey display, games of skill such as; axe throwing, archery and more, and a feast. The festival also has the Artisan Marketplace, an outdoor arts and crafts market located throughout the park in which merchants from around the nation and other countries sell many different kinds of hand-made or period-themed goods.
Other staples of the park include a petting zoo, several live performances including comedy routines and sword swallowing, a live mermaid exhibit, and a selection of food such as 'steak on a stake', sausages, and turkey legs, and others. Patrons are welcome to wear costumes and costumes are available to rent at the festival.

The term “ancient artisans” might conjure up images of long-forgotten craftsmen toiling away in dusty workshops. But in reality, there are many artisans around the world who are keeping alive traditional crafts that have been passed down for generations.

However, as traditional cultures clash with modernity, ancient artisans are finding it harder and harder to make a living.

From movies and TV shows that feature traditional crafts to renaissance festivals that let guests experience them firsthand, read on to learn more about how ancient artisans are being kept alive in the modern world.
