Bristol Renaissance Faire (Bristol) is a Renaissance fair held in a Renaissance-themed park in the Village of Bristol, Wisconsin. It recreates a visit of Queen Elizabeth I to the English port city of Bristol in the year 1574. The faire runs for the nine weekends from early July through Labor Day.\r
The Bristol Faires proximity to Chicago enabled the artistic directors to bring improv comedy teachers from The Second City and The Players Workshop, including instructor and director Eric Forsberg, who taught improvised interive street theater techniques
