The Springfield Renaissance Faire was a Renaissance fair.

History[edit]

The Simpson family visited the Springfield Renaissance Faire, a medieval-themed festival featuring knight battles, puppet shows, historical demonstrations, and Friar Wiggum's Fantastical Beastarium. While Homer spent the day enjoying the fair and eating eight different kinds of meat, an embarrassed Lisa wandered off to the Beastorium. There, one of Wiggum's attractions, an "Esquilax"—described as a horse with the head of a rabbit and the body of a rabbit—escaped into the forest. Lisa followed the animal and discovered a fortune teller's booth. Although initially skeptical, she was impressed when the fortune teller correctly identified members of her family and began telling her about her first true love. After leaving the booth, Lisa reunited with Homer, who proudly recounted his adventures at the fair, and she listened attentively as they walked away together.^[1]

While at M. Bouef, Homer changed his mind about ordering meat sandwiches and went to the Renaissance Faire instead. While there, he broke a catapult, made a new leather belt, attempted glass-blowing, and accidentally joined a jousting match. Marge ran around after him to try and keep him out of trouble. Eventually, Bart was arrested for breaking character, Lisa was arrested for heresy, and Marge was arrested for bringing in outside food. The three of them were put in stocks and Homer went to rescue them using a replica of Leonardo da Vinci's flying machine, but he got distracted by the meat sandwiches at M. Bouef.^[2]
