What's faster than Santa's sleigh, Rudolph's hooves, and Frosty sliding down a snowy hillside?
The gallop of a magnificent horse is quicker, we'll wager, especially when the steed is participating in a jousting ceremony.
And when it comes to the galloping approach of the Original Renaissance Pleasure Faire, the longtime lark that unfurls, like so many bright royal banners, at Santa Fe Dam Recreation Area each spring?

The Scene
Want to find new things to do in Los Angeles? The Scene's lifestyle stories have you covered. Here's your go-to source on where the fun is across SoCal and for the weekend.
How? By booking your admission through the Holidazzle Sale, an annual end-of-the-year treat for lovers of this ye olde festivity.
The savings are afoot — or "ahoof," rather, if you'd rather we continue with the equine imagery — through Jan. 3, 2024.
You'll save "$10 per adult ticket!," is the intriguing vow, and how you'll choose to apply that tenner is up to you.
Will you put the money you saved toward a new crown? A leather vest or fresh sparkly tights? The famously outlandish outfits seen around the outdoor event are fantastical, historical, and sometimes a combination of the two.
You might call such fashion "fantastorical," which is what happens when the realm of fairies colorfully collides with the attire of the everyday world.
Do read up on all you need to know about the limited-time sale, from when you'll need to use it by, and information about reservations. Oh wait: Reservations are not required, so to that we shall give a rousing "huzzah"!
And we jest you not: You will have six days to enter with your discounted ticket, on a Saturday or Sunday from April 6 through April 21, 2024.
Ren Faire will continue to joust, jest, and bring joy over a sizable swath of the spring.
The full run of the festival, which takes place on weekends, not weekdays, is April 6 through May 19, 2024.
