THREE DAYS ‘TIL THE FAIRE, ME HEARTIES!

The winds be shifting and the drums be poundin’… the Upstate Renaissance Faire approacheth in but THREE short days!

But beware, good folk — a most fearsome and funky crew hath risen from the depths…

Stalking the lanes be the dread pirate Captain Blackheart and her ghastly first mate, Deadeye Francis — together, they are the infamous…DEAD PIRATE DISCO DANCERS from White Knight Entertainment!

By day they wander as cursed zombies, silent and eerie…
But lo! When the spectral music riseth — they DANCE! And all within earshot are welcome to join the revelry!

It be a frightful and fun encounter for all ages — a moving spectacle of rhythm and ruin ye won’t want to miss as they haunt the lanes throughout the day.

So don thy garb, lace thy boots, and prepare to dance with the dead — if ye dare!

September 12-14 in our new location: Piedmont Interstate Fairgrounds, Spartanburg, SC
