Hark, a festival of delights awaits thee!
The Hi-Desert Nature Museum and Town of Yucca Valley Recreation Department will be kicking off the summer season with a Renaissance-themed Family Fun Day Saturday (June 14)
This year’s free family-friendly event will transform the Town of Yucca Valley’s Community Center into a Renaissance Festival, inspired by Leonardo’s Lab, the museum’s current interactive exhibition that examines the life and work of the original Renaissance man, Leonardo da Vinci.
Budding engineers can learn about the wonders of flight with the Morongo Basin Kite Club. Future explorers can learn about the art and science of Heraldry to design a custom flag for their very own kingdom. Knights in training can test their might at inflatable jousting, siege the “unscalable” Jacob’s Ladder and defend the bounce castle. More merriment will be provided by skilled henna artist Gopi Henna and balloon twister Mr. Twister and live performances by Abbit the Average at 11:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. will bestow mirth and mischief upon all! Those seeking rest and relaxation can feast upon delectable treats from local food vendors while being serenaded by Z107.7 and even experience authentic Renaissance music performed by the Joshua Tree Early Music Society.
Ever the mirthful jester, Z107.7’s own Cody Joseph will be on hand to provide music and shenanigans as part of a live broadcast from the event.
The Renaissance Fair begins Saturday at 10:00 a.m. and runs until 2:00 p.m. at the Yucca Valley Community Center.
