It just so happens that the Silver Kingdom Renaissance Festival is scheduled to take place this Saturday and Sunday (August 20th and 21st, 2016) from 10:30 A.M. to 5:30 P.M. in Charlton, MA. This festival, which is definitely smaller than King Richard\u2019s Faire (but also costs less than half the price), will feature comedy acts, costumes, dance performances, musical performances, historical weapon demonstrations (swords, guns, and cannons), stories, a bunch of merchants selling a wide variety of unusual items, and a whole lot more. Best of all, there\u2019s currently a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.groupon.com\/deals\/silver-kingdom-renaissance-festival\">Groupon<\/a> available that will let you purchase two tickets to the festival for $19, which is pretty hard to beat. For more information on the Silver Kingdom Renaissance Festival, which typically costs $15 for anyone over the age of 14 and $10 for children ages 6 to 14 (children under 6 are free), please visit the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.silverkingdomfestival.com\/\">Silver Kingdom Renaissance Festival website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Photo credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/walterpro\/8563273297\/\">WalterPro4755<\/a> via <a href=\"https:\/\/visualhunt.com\">Visualhunt<\/a> \/ <a href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/2.0\/\">CC BY<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>King Richard\u2019s Faire will open its doors to all of the renaissance fair fans out there in just a couple of weeks, but if you just can\u2019t wait to grab your medieval finery or dress up as your favorite Game of Thrones character, fear not!
