Get ready, South Carolina, to step back in time for a day to the end of the Medieval Ages at the second annual Upstate Renaissance Faire in Greer, South Carolina. Spend the whole day amid folks dressed in period attire, shop the Medieval Market, banter with the beasts of the day, and eat, drink, and be merry in a venue that’s worthy of a visit any day of the year – but especially during the Renaissance Faire.
Set your sights on discovering one of the prettiest city parks in all of South Carolina and plan to spend all day enjoying the festivities here at Greer City Park.
