Great Plains Renaissance Festival



I was in Wichita recently for the Great Plains Renaissance Festival, which is held for only one weekend during the year. Whereas the Kansas City Renaissance Festival has a permanent facility and is held for seven weekends in September and October, the Great Plains Renaissance Festival uses one of the city parks in Wichita, which limits its duration. It is possible to get much closer to the performers at the Wichita festival. There would have been a bigger crowd in these pictures if the forecast had not been calling for rain.
