Otherwise known as the Mother of All Meat on a Stick Events, Maryland’s annual Renaissance Festival opened in Crownsville, Md. on August 23 and runs every weekend until October 19, with all the men in tights and corseted bosoms you could ask for. Our photographer Martin Locraft hit up the festival last weekend, though if you’re into watching burly dudes toss two-story high logs, get over there this Saturday and Sunday for their Scottish Celebration weekend. See the festival web site for more information.
