This June, Redline VR will transport their bar into renaissance times fit for kings and queens during the “Ren Faire Pop-Up.” The pop-up will run for two weekends, Fridays, June 23 and 30 and Saturdays June 24 and July 1, starting at 7 p.m. This unique pop up event will feature themed VR games and cocktails, live acrobatics, tarot and palm readings, magic and costume contests.

Headlining the Saturday, July 1 show at 8 p.m. is Tiny Girl Big Show, performed by Leah Orleans. Pushing the limits of capability, independence and charm, this original one-woman circus extravaganza is a rollercoaster ride of smarts, skill and sparkle. Her show aims to bring joy, authenticity and jaw dropping tricks to audiences–and she can shoot a bow and arrow with her feet!

Redline VR will also offer two “Family Ren Faire Pop-Ups” from 3 - 6 p.m. Saturdays, June 24 and July 1, which will include crafts and activities, face painting and a stage play aimed at a wider range of audiences.
