A Note about Noise
Renaissance festival entertainment has the reputation for being a bit boisterous at times, and pups who might panic at the sound of gun or cannon fire or the crack of a whip should avoid certain performances. The faire offers a list of particularly loud performances on its website.
The Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire will take place at the Mount Hope Estate, located 2775 Lebanon Road in Manheim, Pennsylvania.
