Jeff Mach's Wicked Winter Renaissance Faire - www.wickedfaire.com

The Saint Valentine Masquerade Ball is the 'Offical After - Party ' for the
Wicked Winter Renaissance Faire

Jeff Mach's Wicked Winter Renaissance Faire is a slightly twisted Renaissance/fantasy fair. It's like stepping into a time machine and going back several hundred years...if the past was a little darker, a little funnier, a little weirder, and a touch more perverse.
They are 100% indoors (who holds an event outdoors in New Jersey, in February?)

They will feature delicious foods, many of which are Renaissance - style, and others which are simply unique. They are the home to over eighty vendors as of this writing, and they look to have over a hundred-twenty by the date of the Faire--each one offering wares that are unique, interesting, and representing a huge variety of interests, from medieval, to gothic, to pagan, to artistic, to the just plain unusual.

They also offer incredible entertainment. The headlining act is Voltaire, a musician of sardonic black humor and axe-sharp wit... A motley crew of musical acts, jugglers, acrobats, magicians, comedians, dancers and others are now assembled - and more are still coming.

The event will take place on Saturday, February 11th, 2006, from 12 noon to midnight. Admission is $15. The event takes place at The New Jersey Convention and Expo Center, in Edison, New Jersey.

People under the age of 15 are permitted only by permission of the management. Check the tickets page for more details.
