Attend the Colorado Renaissance Festival. Open on weekends in the summer starting June 14th. Highlights I recommend include face painting, watch the joust, and the ever popular Puke & Snot show. Also consider purchasing a crown, sword & shield – or my favorite, the crunk cup. Tickets are about $18 pp.
