Escondido faire is almost unique in that it occurs on two different sets of
dates each year: at the start of faire season and at the end. It's a smaller
faire, with just a couple of stages for entertainment, but it has a substantial
number of participants and quite a few patrons (visitors).
I like this faire and make a point to visit each of the two versions each
year (the start and the end of the faire season). There are a large number of
vendors, and for it's size, a very large number of entertainers.
This year there was Adam the Juggler (always a favorite of mine), She-enedra,
Tribe Roman Morga, the Merry Wives of Windsor, Fowl Tales, Kenny Klein, A Fool
and his Lady, and several other acts. Last year the Belles of Bedlam also
attended.
This faire does not have a joust, but it does include a very nice battle
reenactment. The Queen's show and court are very active, moving all around the
faire doing parades and such.
All in all, this faire is well worth at least a visit a year.
