A Renaissance in Tennessee
By Linda Tancs
‘Tis a month for medieval merriment in Tennessee. In other words, it’s time for the Tennessee Renaissance Festival, held weekends in May and Memorial Day. Set in the fictional village of Covington Glen in Arrington, the event features swashbuckling, jousts, magic shows, musical performances, tasty food, and arts and crafts. What’s not fictional is Castle Gwynn, the backdrop for the festival. Privately owned, you can visit the grounds and gardens with your ticket admission. You’ll find exhibits of armor, tapestries, period pieces, video of some of the castle’s interior and a souvenir shop.
