CA – The Golden Gate Renaissance Faire

November 17, 2008

Renaissance Productions celebrated their 6th annual Golden Gate Renaissance Faire in San Francisco’s own Golden Gate Park in mid August. The date adjustment to their regular end-of-August calendar sure didn’t seem to slow down the fun or the crowds. While it was one of the chilliest and foggiest faires there yet to date, the 8,000+ attendees didn’t seem to mind in the least. More photos keep rolling in all the time for this perennial favorite.

For all the times that harsh sun and shadows from trees mess up photos, this one’s idea since with the heavy fog, it’s rather like having fill light coming in from all directions.

Without further delay, here’s the photos:

Here’s some of the galleries for this year’s faire:
