LAS CRUCES – Hear ye, hear ye! The 51st annual Renaissance ArtsFaire is the big event of the weekend, taking over Young Park once again.
The Doña Ana Arts Council’s major annual event is back for this first weekend of November with the theme, “Travelers in Time.” Craft vendors, food trucks, entertainment, activities and more will be available for attendees to enjoy.
Attendees are invited to dress up with the theme in mind. The faire is also family friendly. However, boat rides in the pond will not happen this year, and Magellan the Dragon will not make an appearance due to “inopportune” pond conditions.
Gates to the faire at Young Park, 850 S. Walnut St., will be open from 10 am to 5 pm Saturday and 10 am to 4 pm Sunday. Tickets are $10 and can be purchased online ahead of time at daarts.org/renaissance-artsfaire.
