Does this happen evey year, how did I not know!
Yes every year! The Renaissance Festival is a great event and very fun. Make sure you catch the many different shows. I also recommend going early to beat most of the crowds and heat but make sure you do not go after a rain storm since it can get pretty muddy.
Is there a bus or some way to get to the town of Larkspur from Denver?
