Revelers find themselves getting into character, including a woman bedecked in a black period dress and matching parasol.
“Well, I think for years I used to like Halloween for dressing up and everything, and I love the medieval stories, so that’s why I ended up eventually getting outfits like this one, and I just love going around,” she said.
The annual event features knights on horseback, kings and queens and blacksmiths, among other attractions. It runs every weekend for the next month and a half and is scheduled to end March 25.
