Hazzah! It’s the Return of Casa Loma’s Renaissance Festival!
Saturday, July 4 to Monday, July 6, 2009

Come one. Come all. A Royal Invitation has been extended to all subjects of the Realm.

Now in its 5th year, Casa Loma is proud to host another exciting, family friendly faire. Set against the magnificent backdrop of Toronto’s own Castle, enjoy duelling Knights, Renaissance Shoppes, continuous entertainment, games, comedy and so much more.


Chivalry. Battle. Victory. Defeat: This Ain’t No Dinner Theatre!!
Who needs a horse! Cheer on your favourite Knight as he engages in hand to hand combat with rival Knights. Should you be called upon to assist your Knight, are you brave enough to take up arms?
Presented by the Knights of The Barrie Swordplay Association.
Engagement takes place at 10:30, 1:00 and 3:00.*


Geek Magician Extraordinaire
Reminiscent of a carnival sideshow, Zoltan the Adequate does things that no one else wants to do: balloon swallowing, fire eating, hammering nails up his nose-and you don’t even want to know what he does with his “mini guillotine”. Parental discretion is advised. Show times are: 11:00, 12:30 and 4:00.


The Gypsy Life
The Gypsy Encampment, lead by Katherine Centrone, comes alive with the music and dance of the exotic near East. Participation is encouraged!


Companions of Kings
Get up close and personal with some imposing birds. You don’t want to miss Sir Charles of Linton with his hawks (if you are really lucky, he might bring his owl too!)


The Noble Sport of Archery
For a chance to learn the techniques involved in the ancient sport of archery, (or just to hone your archery skills), join Sir Shawn Adams for fast paced target practice in the Stables. Ages 7 and up.*
