RenFest part 3: Cultural Anachronisms

The Georgia Renaissance Festival isn't overly concerned with overdoing the historical accuracy. I'm sure SCA traditionalists would have a fit. Pretty much anything goes. People are just there to have a good time.

The Celtic band Mickle-a-do are actually pretty close to what I'd think was the theme of the event. I just include them today because got a halfway decent picture. Their music was pretty good and the dancers a lot of fun to watch.

Now, the African Tribal Drummers were a total mystery to me. They tried to offer some sort of explanation of how they fit in, but it seemed too much of a stretch. They still put on a pretty good show. Don't worry about justifying it -- just enjoy it.

They also feature a lot of elves and dragons and other fantasy elements. Including this guy, standing in front of a booth that sold shoulder dragon puppets. Actually, I was kind of surprised to see this. Not that many people would recognize it.

Tomorrow … pirates!
