For the past 20 years in Nine Mile Falls, the Northwest Renaissance Festival has entertained patrons with jousts, music, mud shows, sword fights, gypsy shows and comedy shows. Vendors make everything from leather goods to chain mail and sell a variety of renaissance themed goods.

Here are some photos from Saturday's events:
