IN BRIEF
Knights in shining armor are coming to Arizona.
The 21st annual Arizona Renaissance Festival & Artisan Market Place has all the potential to transport you from the desert to the days of Camelot.
Complete with a 12-stage theater upon which belly dancers will sway and jokers will jest, the annual festival has a little something for every member of the family.
One of the main highlights is the jousting tournament. Two tons of horse, knight and armor gallop onto the field prepared to do battle with 10-foot lances for a lady’s honor.
The festival runs from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays through March 29.
Ticket prices are: adults $18 in advance, $20 at box office; $17 for seniors; $6 for ages 5-12; free for ages 4 and younger. Parking is free. The festival will be at the Festival Village, 12601 E. U.S. Highway 60 in Apache Junction.
For more information, call 520-463-2700
