Step into a Renaissance Faire and you’ll be greeted with a scene out of time — dueling knights, vendors hawking their wares and royal proclamations.

In this excerpt of Where We Live's episode, Faire play: A look inside Renaissance Faires around CT, Connecticut Public's summer interns, Isaac Moss and Coco Cooley, take you to the Connecticut Midsummer Fantasy Renaissance Fair to bring you stories and songs from queens, storytellers and merchants on a steamy summer day in a realm filled with magic and whimsy.

Reported by:

  • Isaac Moss: Summer intern at Connecticut Public and recent graduate of Wesleyan University
  • Coco Cooley: Summer intern at Connecticut Public and student at Wesleyan University

Catherine Shen is the host of Where We Live. The full episode was produced by Isaac Moss, Coco Cooley and Tess Terrible.
