Turn back time at Renaissance Faire

The 20th annual Ojai Renaissance Faire and Pirate Festival will be from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sat. and Sun., April 4 and 5 at Lake Casitas in Ojai.

Attendees who bring a nonperishable food item for FOOD Share will receive $1 off the ticket price. Visitors are encouraged to come in period costume.

The event will have two stages with continuous entertainment; battle reenactments and demonstrations; an outdoor marketplace with more than 55 juried merchants and artists selling handcrafted items and period clothing, armament, fine jewelry, original art and pottery; and a food court with turkey legs, English bangers, sausages desserts and more.

King Richard's Tavern will serve Newcastle ale, wine and adult beverages.

The family friendly event enforces a no-tolerance policy for drug abuse and drunken behavior.

The event recycles all bottles and cans and donates them to Lake Casitas as a fundraiser.

All-inclusive admission is $16 for adults, $8 for children under 12, and free for children 4 and under. Weekend passes and group rates are also available.
