After a long climb up the hill, i reached the entrance of the festival to find myself surrounded by people who dressed up for the occasion. Adults, kids, teenagers. Adorable !
There were 6 areas to the festival around the park. I found myself entertained by singing minstrels & medieval themed stalls.
There were stalls showing weaving, leather work and metalworking.
In the middle of the park, there was a small museum which was an extension of the Metropolitan Museum of Art called the Cloisters. I decided to take the opportunity to visit this museum. It was medieval theme & very apt given the festival.
The museum was big and spacious. There were entire altars & huge stained glass windows. In the middle of the museum, were lovely gardens for one to kick back and relax. Huge, well preserved medieval tapestries were hung up for all to admire and in fact, the condition of these rivaled even some that i saw in Rome.
Ending the day, again i see the Wall Street protesters with a humorous sign reminding all of what is happening.
Amusing.
