LOWER LAKE – Come to the wedding of the year at the Tuscan town of Porto del Mare, when the Scots of the Clan Fraser visit town to prepare for the wedding of their own young master with the timid blushing bride, a cousin of the powerful De Medici family.
Since Porto del Mare is a trading town, those dastardly Scots must have this match in mind for their own benefit.
But what is it? It’s the second annual Lake Renaissance Festival at Tuscan Village on Main Street in Lower Lake, next to the post office, on Memorial Day weekend – Saturday, May 29, and Sunday, May 30.
The festival will take place from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day.
This is Lake County’s best of the best in historical entertainment, which takes you back 400 years to simpler times, when people knew how to celebrate.
Tickets are $7, with a $2 discount for students and seniors, patrons in costume or a discount coupon, while children 10 and under are free. Parking is free.
You are invited to the fun and interesting workshops, which are open to the public free of charge, where you can learn about the history of the area, the age being portrayed and you can choose a character and learn how to dress, walk and talk like the people of 400 years past, or take another one of the many workshops which are planned.
To learn more, contact the education director, Ann White, at AnnDrewArt in the Tuscan Village at 707-995-5079, Donna Harris at 707-279-0609 or visit the group's Web site at www.lakerenfest.com.
