It's Renaissance Festival time, complete with jousting events, kissing-wenches, mead-drinking, arts and crafts, music, merriment and mischief galore.
What sets itself apart from all other Renaissance Festivals is it's distinction of being the only Renaissance Fayre held on the grounds of a real castle in North America.
Castle Gwynn is a startling replica of a 12th-century Welsh border castle and the private home of Nashville-native Mike Freeman, a portrait photographer, and his wife, Jackie, a retired schoolteacher.
The complete story of how the castle came to be, can be read here : http://tnhomeandfarm.com/castle-gwynn and is still an ongoing labor of love.

How wonderful to have a castle on the grounds of the Renaissance Festival! We have an annual one here in Ellis County that we used to take the kids to every year. Loved it! It's been a while, but I believe it's going on now.
That would be such fun to attend the Festival at that castle. I will click on the link to read more about it.
Beautiful!
Dragons welcome? Ha ha yikes, no thank you! 😬
We have been to this Renaissance Festival a number of years ago! Had a delightful day!! I do remember, though, that it was very hot!
Beautiful blog
What a fascinating place - - I'm surprised that I never heard about it before. It looks just like a storybook castle.
It would be fun to see the castle. We don't have that many in this country.
