Renfest 2026...

Cathy was a bit under the weather this past weekend. She marshalled enough strength to sit in a lawn chair and praise the almighty soccer on Saturday morning but was not up to a trip with the Zamora clan to the Texas Renfest. I was up to the task. It had been a few years since I had attended the Renfest and as usual I tried to recall past trips that had been documented on blog posts but with Cathy's help we remembered that once upon a time pre internet when Mary was one year old we took my mom to renfest with us. Mom was probably just a bit younger than I am now. Thanks kids, for taking me. 

We met up with the Smith family there and with all in costume we made an afternoon of medieval times.   

 Nico is not going to recall this trip but they will tell him, "that time you went with pop-pop."

 I took as many photos of drummers and belly dancers as I could. This is an old renfest favorite, Tartanic. 

You can check out some 20 year old old renfare blog posts here and here. I'm pretty sure we've been sometime between my mom's trip in probably 1992 and the 2007 links and now but I don't have the info at hand. 

There are many shows to see and though we made only an afternoon of it I feel we caught a good sample of the entertainment and excitement the fair offers each year. 

There were some horns...

...and I got this one after dark photo of a brass quintet with tuba playing from a balcony as I passed by. 

More music. 

Won't somebody tell me, just what does a plague doctor do? 

Some people lost their hang chops before the fireworks. 

A photo from 2007. Still my favorite belly dancer.

Still a few weeks left. Check out some renfest if you can.
