In true, Red Barn Production fashion, they’ve created one of their iconic maps of the event which showcase some of the fun ahead this weekend. As someone with a Dad who plays traditional irish music, I’m looking forward to seeing some live music on one of the stages. But check out all of the adorable Irish festivities ahead like the outdoor pub and the massive May Pole in the center of the event.
A Small Bit of Marin History makes This Event Even More Exciting:
For me, it’s seeing Red Barn Productions come back to Marin with a new concept. For those of you who know some Marin history. The Reneissance Festival was at Blackpoint Forest Renaissance Pleasure Faire site in Novato, California for many many years. Some of us remember it fondly as one of the best renn Raires ever created. Knowing this lore + also knowing how well-produced Dickens is makes me extra excited to see this production company create another special event. Rumor has it, they hope to expand their events beyond this new one & Dickens which is also exciting to hear!
