Colorado Renaissance Festival Pirates Weekend First Time

Is the Colorado Renaissance Festival worth the trek? 🏴‍☠️⚔️ In today's family travel vlog, we are heading out for our very first time to experience the 49th annual Colorado Renaissance Festival during their iconic Pirates Weekend! From the opening cannon fires to exploring the unique artisan shops and stages hidden along the mountain terrain, we break down everything a first-timer needs to know. We catch incredible live performances from Jacques the Whipper, the Spice Boys, the Washing Winches, and the high-intensity Joust to the Death! We also review Ren Fair food prices, hidden real restroom locations (privies), and share critical accessibility tips for navigating the steep Colorado hills with strollers or walkers. Don't forget to prepare for that random Colorado mountain weather—we experienced everything from extreme heat to surprise downpours! 🏔️ VIDEO CHAPTERS & TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Arrival & Opening Cannon Fire 🎆 01:35 Navigating Inside the Gates (First Impressions) 🏰 02:16 Exploring the Festival Grounds & Costumes 👑 06:16 Ren Fair Food & Beverage Prices 🍕 07:00 Jacques ze Whipper Live Show at the Rose Stage 🤠 12:49 The Spice Boys Pirate Musical Performance 🏴‍☠️ 15:07 Crucial Tip: Real Restrooms (Privies) vs. Porta Potties 🚽 15:56 The Witch Trials Live Show 🧙‍♀️ 17:00 Accessibility Check & Mountain Terrain Warnings 🥾 18:24 Grand Tournament: The First Joust 🐎 23:40 Washing Winches Comedy Show 🧺 29:26 Final Joust to the Death ⚔️ 36:23 Festival Wrap-Up & Souvenir Shop Walkthrough 🛍️ 37:18 Car Walk & Talk: Pros, Cons, and Map Criticisms 🗺️ 39:51 Final Review: Is the Colorado Ren Fair Worth It? 🤔 We share honest, real-world family travel vlogs, vacation planning tips, and theme park guides every week!
