Turned out to be a concert better than I thought it might be.

 

Barry Manilow announced that he is going to "hit the road" ONE LAST TIME! In Sunrise, Florida during his last tour -- featuring a backing band of 13 musicians and singers, plus all the show-stopping hits. Manilow's storied career includes over 50 Top 40 hits, Grammy, Tony and Emmy Awards, a seven-year run on the Vegas Strip and an induction into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. From "Mandy," "I Write the Songs" and "Can't Smile Without You" to the classic "Copacabana (At the Copa)" and beyond, Manilow will belt out his legendary hits during an unforgettable night at the BB&T Center.

 

We were on the fence about seeing this concert, but bought tickets through Goldstar and were happy we did.

 

Goldstar, Unlike so many ticket sellers online, are not brokers. They work directly with 4,000 venue partners to connect them with our huge and growing Goldstar audience. Not every show sells out, so instead of letting seats go empty, venues list them with us to sell to our members.

Our first weekend this year at RenFest!

 

Live a day in the 16th Century at the Annual Florida Renaissance Festival, coming to Quiet Waters Park, Over 100 Artisans selling their wares, Over 100 Performers to entertain, Kid's Kingdom, Entertainment and Food and Drynk fit for a King! It's a Fun Family Event for All Ages!

 

A Renaissance fair, Renaissance faire, or Renaissance festival is an outdoor weekend gathering, usually held in the United States, open to the public and typically commercial in nature, which purportedly recreates a historical setting for the amusement of its guests. Some are permanent theme parks, while others are short-term events in a fairground, winery, or other large public or private spaces.[1] Renaissance fairs generally include an abundance of costumed entertainers or fair-goers, musical and theatrical acts, art and handicrafts for sale, and festival food.

 

In a modern Renaissance festival there are stages or performance areas set up for scheduled shows, such as plays in Shakespearean or commedia dell'arte tradition, as well as anachronistic audience participation comedy routines. Other performances include dancers, magicians, musicians, jugglers, and singers. Between the stages the streets ("lanes") are lined with stores ("shoppes") and stalls where independent vendors sell medieval and Renaissance themed handcrafts, clothing, books, and artworks. There are food and beverage vendors, as well as game and ride areas. Games include basic skills events such as archery or axe-throwing as well as Drench-a-Wench and Soak-a-Bloke, which allow a player with a good aim to hit a target and get a fair employee wet. Rides are typically not machine powered; various animal rides and human-powered swings are common. Live animal displays and falconry exhibitions are also commonplace. Larger Renaissance fairs will often include a joust as a main attraction.

Day Number 3 of our first weekend this year at RenFest!

 

We started the cloudy President's Day in Renaissance garb; but ended the day in newly bought kilts!! These are my flashes: Flashes are effectively garters, which help hold up the kilt hose (kilt socks). Flashes can be made of a solid color, typically chosen to tone with a color in the kilt or made in tartan cloth to match the kilt. For anyone wanting to wear the kilt with kilt hose (kilt socks), flashes are a must.

 

We also have a broad collection of kilt hose (kilt socks) in stock at USA Kilts. Kilt hose are the socks commonly worn with a kilt. They are typically worn about 3" below the kneecap when turned over, with flashes under the turned over portion to help hold them up. Kilt hose come in a wide variety of styles and made of wool or a wool blend.

Day Number 3 of our first weekend this year at RenFest!

 

We started the cloudy President's Day in Renaissance garb; but ended the day in newly bought kilts!!

 

Live a day in the 16th Century at the Annual Florida Renaissance Festival, coming to Quiet Waters Park, Over 100 Artisans selling their wares, Over 100 Performers to entertain, Kid's Kingdom, Entertainment and Food and Drynk fit for a King! It's a Fun Family Event for All Ages!

 

A Renaissance fair, Renaissance faire, or Renaissance festival is an outdoor weekend gathering, usually held in the United States, open to the public and typically commercial in nature, which purportedly recreates a historical setting for the amusement of its guests. Some are permanent theme parks, while others are short-term events in a fairground, winery, or other large public or private spaces. Renaissance fairs generally include an abundance of costumed entertainers or fair-goers, musical and theatrical acts, art and handicrafts for sale, and festival food.

 

In a modern Renaissance festival there are stages or performance areas set up for scheduled shows, such as plays in Shakespearean or commedia dell'arte tradition, as well as anachronistic audience participation comedy routines. Other performances include dancers, magicians, musicians, jugglers, and singers. Between the stages the streets ("lanes") are lined with stores ("shoppes") and stalls where independent vendors sell medieval and Renaissance themed handcrafts, clothing, books, and artworks. There are food and beverage vendors, as well as game and ride areas. Games include basic skills events such as archery or axe-throwing as well as Drench-a-Wench and Soak-a-Bloke, which allow a player with a good aim to hit a target and get a fair employee wet. Rides are typically not machine powered; various animal rides and human-powered swings are common. Live animal displays and falconry exhibitions are also commonplace. Larger Renaissance fairs will often include a joust as a main attraction.

We got to Sunrise, Florida early enough to have dinner at the Grand Lux Cafe, then shop at Perry Ellis at Sawgrass Mills Mall

Turned out to be a concert better than I thought it might be.

 

Barry Manilow announced that he is going to "hit the road" ONE LAST TIME! In Sunrise, Florida during his last tour -- featuring a backing band of 13 musicians and singers, plus all the show-stopping hits. Manilow's storied career includes over 50 Top 40 hits, Grammy, Tony and Emmy Awards, a seven-year run on the Vegas Strip and an induction into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. From "Mandy," "I Write the Songs" and "Can't Smile Without You" to the classic "Copacabana (At the Copa)" and beyond, Manilow will belt out his legendary hits during an unforgettable night at the BB&T Center.

 

We were on the fence about seeing this concert, but bought tickets through Goldstar and were happy we did.

 

Goldstar, Unlike so many ticket sellers online, are not brokers. They work directly with 4,000 venue partners to connect them with our huge and growing Goldstar audience. Not every show sells out, so instead of letting seats go empty, venues list them with us to sell to our members.
