Fifty miles south of Boston in the heart of cranberry country, a grand annual tradition allows visitors to travel back to the days of knights, princesses and court jesters. Through October 19, King Richard’s Faire (235 Main St., Carver, 508-866-5391) features plenty of medieval-themed performers, games, rides and more, including live jousting, roaming minstrels, a zoo full of exotic animals and vendors selling everything from shields and swords to cloaks and kilts—not to mention the obligatory giant turkey legs. Fair-goer participation is also part of the fun, with the last big event—a costume contest for adults—taking place October 18 at 4 p.m. So throw on your best doublet or corset and head to Carver before this fair disappears once again into the mists of time.
