Eat, drink and be merry! The 2019 Colorado Renaissance Festival has begun, and it’s bringing ye olde house down. The festival, which started in 1976, is bringing wacky comedy shows, unique music performances, daring jousts, acrobatics, hypnotics and even big cats to 10 stages around the 30-acre festival grounds, located 30 minutes south of Denver in Larkspur. About 200,000 people visited last year’s festival. It also boasts enough turkey legs, roasted chicken, stews, desserts, ale and wine for a king.
