I've been attending the Hoggetowne Medieval Faire in Gainesville, Florida on and off since 1998. I did not have the chance to go this year though fortunately there is a new Renaissance fair local to me that I did manage to make it to. These events are great fun so definitely try to go to one if you never have.
Below is some video I took at the 2010 Hoggetowne Medieval Faire and includes the Sea Dragon (a human powered amusement ride), the royal procession (every fair must have a King and Queen), scenes from the jousting tournament (usually one of the highlights), and a little bit of music.
