Georgia Renaissance Festival
It's hard not to enjoy the Georgia Renaissance Festival, which is held each year on fairgrounds just south of I-285. The fair is packed with things to do, from cheering on jousting knights to watching the bawdy wishing well wenches. You can spend hours wandering the grounds, trying your hand at games and skills tests (archery, anyone?) and browsing through the booths featuring handcrafted goods. And at some point, though you may try to resist, you're going to end up with one of those giant turkey legs in your hand, feasting like a king. Just don't make any claim about actually having royal blood. King Henry VIII and his courtiers, who stroll through the fair each day and take their responsibilities very seriously, might take offense to that. And if there's one thing you don't want to do at the Ren Fest, it's end up in the gallows.
