Santee’s Renaissance Experience is getting a fresh look this week through a new East County Magazine photo feature from the June 17 event at the historic Edgemoor grounds. The gallery shows a community celebration built around medieval-style fighting, pirates, fairies, music and courtly pageantry.\n\nAccording to East County Magazine, the event was organized by the Santee Kiwanis Club and the Kingdom of Terre Neuve in collaboration with the city of Santee and the County of San Diego. Guests also had opportunities to try archery, crafts and dancing, and to watch tournaments and bardic performances.\n\nFor Santee residents, the takeaway is that the Renaissance Experience appears positioned to become more than a one-off summer event. East County Magazine reported that organizers expect it to become an annual happening, adding another locally rooted option to the city’s growing calendar of family-friendly community events.\n\nSource: East County Magazine.
