Tons of things to do like joisting demonstrations, archery, mock battles, food, drink, the Queens Quest for kids and older. Plenty of stands to check out too. You can visit different guilds and learn about the history. Come with little things to barter and an adventurous spirit. Parking can be rough and sometimes there is a line and some disorganization getting into the event but despite that, we will be back.

This was my second time coming to the Renaissance fair, the first time was many years ago…read morepre-covid. We came early so there was plenty of parking still, but it can be hard navigating with all of the people trying to get in and out. Next time I think I will park in the church and take the shuttle bus and see if that is better. I like that this Renaissance Fair is big but not too big. Sometimes too big can get overwhelming, and you don't get to see everything. This one is a really good size and there are a lot of things to see and do, and tons of vendors. I will say a lot of the booths were very expensive for their Wares. However I don't have much to compare it to, so this may be standard for Renaissance Fair merchants and goods. I will say I have seen some very beautiful items, some of which definitely look like they have put a lot of work into. There were several places inside for food, and surprisingly the prices weren't extremely terrible, and the food was pretty good. I had Carnitas fries, and fried zucchini, both of which were pretty good. I loved seeing everyone dressed up, and putting so much effort into these elaborate costumes. There are activities and entertainment as well. The actors really get into character, and we got to see the procession with the queen in tow. Since it was my first time I didn't do a lot of the activities, but they did have some games, archery, Etc. We did stop inside the Beer Garden, which had some entertainment that was very funny. It definitely was more adult-oriented in there, which makes sense. They had people singing funny songs, and they held two contests while we were there, one for the men and one for the women. We were there for several hours, and if you do a lot of the activities I could see you easily spending the whole day here. It's a lot of walking so we're comfortable shoes. I enjoyed myself, and think I would do this again, as be participate in more of the activities.

The Ramona Junior Fair and their supporting events are a throwback to a time that's all but lost in…read morerural America. It's where the 4H, FFA and Grange youth organizations all get together to compete both individually and at the club level on all manner of skills and crafts related to farm life, including animal husbandry, crafts, foods and industrial arts. It also gives exposure to the urban folks of what country life, especially for youth, has for its core values. The annual pie auction and accompanying BBQ, held mid-July (2013: 13 July) is a great way to support the organizations and their scholarship funds as well as get some incredible, at times exotic and always delicious homemade desserts. The BBQ held immediately before the auction is an old fashioned pit style BBQ that cooks in the ground for almost 24 hours. It's just $7 for adults featuring beef, pork, turkey, fresh picked sweet corn, homemade beans and salad - you won't find finer BBQ fare anywhere at any price, really! The 2013 fair is July 27 through August 4. It has traditional midway rides, food vendors, folks selling all manner of goods and the livestock and crafts/arts judging. The fair culminates in the annual livestock auction, held on the last Saturday during the fair. It is another opportunity to support youth college scholarship as well as to obtain the very best organic veal, beef, pork, lamb, goat, chicken and turkey that money can buy. Sooooo tasty and all for a good cause.

For anyone worried about the treatment of their animals, there's nothing to worry about. These animals are well, well cared for (I grew up on a farm so I would know). Nice gift shop, friendly staff. 11/10 will go again.

THE MINDFUL MOVEMENT…read more Run. Yoga. Meditate. Held at Liberty Park NTC Station. The energy at this event was very positive and uplifting. It started at 7:30am but the actual event starts at 8:45. Good to come early to set up your yoga may infront of the main stage. Vendors and booths surrounded the main stage. My friend forgot her yoga mat and was able to buy one at the Adidas tent. A lot of healthy food and drinks sold through the day. No need to buy the picnic lunch when registering, you can pay there or walk to Liberty market to eat. Imagine over a thousand yogies (predominately females) and active people coming together to share this space and energy under the sun. - morning stretch lead by Mac Yogi - 5k around liberty station NTC park with Niki Klasnic - dj spinning awesome tunes by Dj Drez - yoga by Mary Beth LaRue (main stage) - meditation by Noah Levine (main stage) I had a lot of fun! I set up my scheduled activities when I first registered. The smaller activities br als off after the main stage meditation. Fun day of workout activity, yoga, dance, yoga, mediate. It was like a Coachella for yogies. And I'm not a yoga person and that is okay, they do a very chill yoga routine. The energy had me on a mindful movement. Until next year...

Good family-friendly and dog-friendly event. Grand Avenue is blocked off. There is free street…read moreparking all along the outside of the streets. There were tons of vendors under tents and storefront businesses to check out. As we walked down the street there were different entertainers. Different businesses were handing out free items for the kids such as ballons, dental items, and trinkets. My kids had fun playing with the Robotic team's creations. We admired the artist's work at the "Art Garden." There were several vendors selling dog items. My biggest find of the day is Dolce Monachelli's. It's a family-owned business that makes bunt cakes. They were handing out samples of their most popular bunt cake the Italian Butter Rum. My kids all loved the sample so I decided to get the Sampler Box and the regular-sized unicorn bundt cake. The man helping me was so friendly and informative. They currently don't have a brick and motor store. They sell at Farmer's Markets, special events, and offer pick up. Overall, we enjoyed the event and plan to come back again.

Sunday 5-22-2022 I…read morecame to the Escondido Street Fair today on Grand Avenue and it was pretty cool! A minimum of 40 booths, probably more, live music, food, drinks, vendors selling hand-made items as well as other things, and just an overall cool experience. Constructive criticism: I do wish they had more seating all throughout the event instead of just seating on one end of it, right in front of the live music that is blasting super loudly. I also wish they had more porta-potties throughout the entire event. Animals: pets are allowed here but there are tons of dogs and people, no dog food/water bowls, not much shade, hot pavement on their paws, and loud live music, so maybe not the best place for pets. Booths: they have almost everything! Toys for kids, clothes and hats for your dogs and cats, handmade soaps, a booth to register to vote, clothes for humans, Mexican food, popcorn, jewelry, bakery food, dentistry booths, veterinarian booths, people selling their hand-blown or painted glass art, and more! Very cool experience, and it's all right on Grand so all the normal shops here are open and ready for business! I absolutely love that they chose to have this on Grand Avenue. I try to come every year.

I tried some of the best tamales I've ever had here. They were so fluffy and flavorful. There were a lot of other trucks that had desserts and other foods as well, so there was something for everyone. There were several vendors with booths set up selling various items. One booth had some of the freshest flowers I've seen at a great price! I bought a very nice bouquet of sunflowers for a friend of mine. They had a stage with various entertainment such as dancers. There was also a beer garden, but you could barely call it that it was so small. I went early so want drinking so I didn't care. Overall we enjoyed it and will attend next year.

She was really flexible with my changing head count and just shared the minimum cost which was around $330. She had me choose what design I wanted to paint in advance too, which was easy! Review - I planned this for my birthday and I had such a fun time. Davina really walks you through the steps in an easy to understand way and shows you how to do each step on her own canvas. It was totally fun and doable for my friends who are not generally crafting people! The studio has great decorations and ambiance, Davina gave us glasses, glow in the dark hair clip, and a hat to take home with us. The final painting is so pretty and glows in the dark. Super recommend, especially for kids, families, friends. COVID - we didn't wear masks but you could wear masks. Davina shared she is vaxxed and boosted.

Milagro Farm is just that, a working farm with many aspects, including the winery. The tasting room, patio, and barrel room facilities have a rustic vibe, but are very nice. The staff was friendly and provides a lot of information on the various wines they offer. WINES: We shared a tasting of 5 whites and 5 reds. They have a large selection of varietals, including a Sparkling, Sauv Blanc, Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Barbera, Cab Sauv, Petite Sirah, and some blends. The wines are okay, not necessarily matching my palate, but others seem to really enjoy them. I always say that with wine, what I like/dislike may differ from your palate, so I suggest that you try them out yourselves. Overall, a relaxing, enjoyable time and location.
