Dear Faire People,
        Once again, the time approaches for preparation of the Fourth annual Glastonbury Renaissance Faire.  The Glastonbury Renaissance Faire is a celebration of life in the history and legends of Medieval and Renaissance Europe with something for all ages to enjoy. We welcome our many new and returning artisans and entertainers to this Glastonbury Renaissance Faire 2004. This year we welcome the Oregon Coast Aquarium as a major sponsor. Entertaining, interactive and educational, this event provides wonderful singers, and dancers to entertain. Some of the exciting entertainers for The 2004 event will include "Zinger The Magick," Heather Alexander, nationally known Celtic singer, The BOWI Band, and Shakespeare's Bloody Bits from San Francisco. There are magicians, puppets and treasure hunts for the young. Visitors will enjoy the re-enactments of the days of chivalry and sword fighting, as knights, nobles and royalty including Glastonbury's own Queen Mary in colorful Renaissance regalia visit the Faire.  It is also an opportunity for regional artisans to display and sell their treasures. Visitors are encouraged to come in costumes of the period. The natural beauty of the South Beach State Park's ocean beach and dunes, wooded hills and glen, make the Glastonbury village site more than faire. All the modern conveniences that the city of Newport offers you are close by, but are discreetly masked by the abundant coastal pines enveloping this park. Through this festival we hope to raise public awareness about the Oregon Coast Council for the Arts and to benefit its ongoing activities.
         With the sponsorship and volunteerism from the private, civic and commercial members of our community, we will make this Faire experience both comfortable and enjoyable for all. We wish you well in all your endeavors.
       Due to our growth over the last five years, there is no parking space available at the Park to accommodate us.  The Oregon Coast Aquarium is donating the RV Parking area across from the Aquarium for our use that weekend, and there will be shuttle busses to take you direct to the Faire entrance.

All is Faire . . .
Peace to all who enter this
Glastonbury Renaissance Faire
