New York Capital District Renaissance Festival joust

The New York Capital District Renaissance Festival is set to return June 11 and 12 at Indian Ladder Farms in Altamont. Festival blurbage:

Spend a day enjoying a long-forgotten past. Where the magic of princesses, dragons, and knights are intertwined with rich history and sport. Stroll the market and meet artisans selling the unique and beautiful. Enjoy a show by one of the many street or stage performers. Taste the flavors of forgotten foods and fresh menus. Learn about the art of battle. Thrill at the excitement of a joust tournament.

(The flavors of forgotten foods apparently includes ye olde fried Oreos.)

Tickets are currently available online -- they're $11 per day for adults / $3.75 per day for kids ages 3-12 (and free for for ages 2 and under). There's also a "royal" two-day pass for $19.
