Since 1984, the Maryland Renaissance Festival has annually transformed a 25-acre plot of forest in Crownsville into the “Faire,” a replica of a bustling 16th-century European village. That could soon change, though, as its organizers are looking to grow the event further by moving it to a larger site.

Magician and Baltimore resident Brian Wendell Morton will be performing for the 11th year when the festival begins at the end of the month, and he relishes the chance to perform at what he calls a “cheerful, family-friendly event.”

“It's a way to step out of your daily life into a fantasy world,” Morton said.

Even if the festival should move, the local performer claims he would remain a loyal participant.

“I'm sure it will still be the Maryland Renaissance Festival,” he said. “If it happens, it happens and I'll roll with it.”
