Join us for a day of fun and unique photo opportunities at the Las Vegas Renaissance Festival! This 16th-century themed event offers a treasure trove of unique and captivating subjects, from elaborately costumed characters to majestic animals, bustling marketplaces and grand stage shows.

You'll have the opportunity to capture stunning images of knights in armor, royal courtiers, and swashbuckling pirates, as well as the vibrant colors and textures of the festival's many artisans and vendors. With a variety of interactive experiences and shows, you'll be able to freeze moments of action, drama, and comedy, and have fun with the whole family while doing it!

Our event will take place on Saturday, October 11, the second day of the three-day festival.

**MEETUP INFO:**
We will have a meet and greet at 11:00am just inside the main ticket and entry gates. Expect it to be crowded, so look for the people with the cameras! After we get a chance to say hello and meet our fellow photographers, plan to explore the festival and shoot on your own.

**MEETUP FEES:**
There is no fee for the Meetup, though you must purchase a ticket to enter the festival. You can purchase a ticket at the gate the day of the event (no cash accepted at the door), or save a little time and money and pre-purchase tickets online here: [https://wl.eventim.us/event/Age-of-Chivalry-Ren-Fair/648756?afflky=AgeofChivalryLasVegasRenaissanceFestival](https://wl.eventim.us/event/Age-of-Chivalry-Ren-Fair/648756?afflky=AgeofChivalryLasVegasRenaissanceFestival)

Look for the “Single Day Passes” and click on the “+” sign to open the options. Note that all tickets are non-refundable.

**PHYSICAL ACTIVITY:**
Expect to do plenty of walking on different surface types ranging from paved to dirt and gravel. It may also still be quite warm in October.

**PARKING:**
Parking at Sunset Park is extremely limited, and no event parking is allowed north of Sunset Road, including at Cannon Middle School or Del Sol High School. Unauthorized parking on private or commercial property **will** result in towing.

The best option might be the free shuttles from either Las Vegas Sports Park or Green Valley High School which run from 10:00am to 11:00pm. More information on parking, and the shuttles can be found here: [https://lvrenfair.com/directions-parking/](https://lvrenfair.com/directions-parking/)

Ready to take on the challenge of wildlife photography right here in the Las Vegas valley? Let’s swap the bustle of city streets for nine shimmering ponds teeming with life at the Henderson Bird Viewing Preserve. We’ll stalk (quietly!) great blue herons, snowy egrets, migrating waterfowl, plus the occasional turtle, lizard or coyote.

Bring the longest lens you own, as the closer you can “get” to the subject without moving your feet, the more natural the behavior you’ll capture. Pack your patience too; the best shots come when the birds forget you’re there and go about their day.

**MEETUP INFO:**
We will meet at 7:00am just outside the entry door of the visitor center. This is when the facility opens and with a little luck the light will be warm and the animals active.

**MEETUP FEES:**
There is no fee for the Meetup, and no entry fee for the Henderson Bird Refuge.

**PHYSICAL ACTIVITY:**
Expect to do plenty of walking on different surface types ranging from paved to dirt and gravel. Most of the trails are smooth and level.

**ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:**
If your plans change and you are unable to attend, please be courteous and cancel your RSVP so we are not waiting for you.
