Well, I took public transportation so it was no problem. It was great! Although it's a Medieval Festival, it was pretty much the same as a Renaissance Faire. Tons of vendors and shows, I was mostly into the falconry and jousting on horseback, but there was other stuff going on all day. The usual SCA and Adrian Empire re-enactors.
