The city that hosted the Virginia Renaissance Faire between 1996 and 1999 had a population of 24,286 in what census?
Virginia Renaissance Faire (1996-1999) The Virginia Renaissance Faire was a renaissance fair located in Fredericksburg, Virginia between 1996 and 1999. It was run by Renaissance Entertainment Corporation (now called Renaissance Entertainment Productions), until it was closed after multiple seasons of operating at a loss at other renaissance faires owned by the company. The volunteers and paid performers weren't notified until after the end of the 1999 run that it would not be returning. It was reopened in 2002 by a group of volunteers from the closed Virginia Renaissance Faire called "Out Of The Woodwork Productions", in nearby Spotsylvania. That Faire opens each year on the Saturday of Mother's Day weekend each year and runs for five weekends at the Lake Anna Winery. Today, the old site is overgrown, with many of the buildings still standing, though in poor repair.
Virginia Virginia ( , , officially the Commonwealth of Virginia) is a state in the Southeastern and Mid-Atlantic regions of the United States located between the Atlantic Coast and the Appalachian Mountains. Virginia is nicknamed the "Old Dominion" due to its status as the first English colonial possession established in mainland North America, and "Mother of Presidents" because eight U.S. presidents were born there, more than any other state. The geography and climate of the Commonwealth are shaped by the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Chesapeake Bay, which provide habitat for much of its flora and fauna. The capital of the Commonwealth is Richmond; Virginia Beach is the most populous city, and Fairfax County is the most populous political subdivision. The Commonwealth's estimated population as of 2017 is over 8.4 million.
