Riddle me this, riddle me that at Renaissance Festival

Now in its 30th year, the Sterling Renaissance Festival will continue to feature old favorites, as well as new additions and a handful of returning shows brought back by popular demand.

The festival, which kicks off Saturday, will offer a few new themed weekends this summer. As in past years, each of the seven weekends will have different promotions and motifs. New this year will be Pirates Weekend, Patron Appreciation Weekend and Celtic Celebration Weekend.

“We tried to come up with something that would give a lot of different people, a lot of different experiences,” said Melissa Fleischmann, marketing and promotions manager. “On each themed weekend, we've added something special.”
