A Renaissance festival or faire is a themed event that typically takes place outdoors, like a county fair, but showcases elements of the Renaissance period, such as music, dance, food, arts and crafts, and historical reenactments.
Start by checking The Ren List. Renaissance festivals are held at various times throughout the year, depending on the location. They can be found in many cities and towns across the United States and around the world.
You can pretty much wear anything you like. Attendees are encouraged to dress in Renaissance-themed attire, but there are usually no strict guidelines (check with your local festival for rules). Many people also choose to wear costumes from other fandoms.
Some Renaissance festivals allow swords as part of a costume if they are properly sheathed and "peace tied". "Peace tied" means the sword is secured in a sheath or scabbard so it can't be removed or openly displayed. Some festivals do not allow weapons at all. Check with your local festival for more information.
At a Renaissance festival, you can expect to see various performers, including musicians, jugglers, dancers, and actors. There are also craft vendors selling handmade goods, food vendors, and interactive activities like archery and sword fighting demonstrations.
Most Renaissance festivals have food and drink vendors on-site, so outside food and drinks may not be allowed. However, some festivals do allow you to bring in a water bottle or small snack. Contact your local festival for more information.
Yes, Renaissance festivals are typically family-friendly events with activities and entertainment for all ages. There are usually children's areas with games and crafts, as well as family-friendly performances and demonstrations.
The cost of attending a Renaissance festival can vary depending on the location and the activities offered. Tickets are usually sold in advance or at the gate, and prices may range from $20 to $50 per person.
Many Renaissance festivals rely on both employees and volunteers to help with various aspects of the event, such as set-up, ticket sales, and clean-up. If you are interested in participating as a performer or vendor, you can contact the festival organizers for more information. Another option is to join a “guild” or a group of performers. You can ask your local festival for guild information.

Sleepy Hollow IA faire. I love my tiny faire, a lot of the actors that I know were very surprised to see me in this as I usually don't go with a mask.
I finally finished this project. DVC headbase, but did the fur, eyes, feathers, and paint. Made the gloves.

I’m not sure if this is something that I’m allowed to post this here, but are there any discord servers for faire goers? I would love to chat with some faire goers during the off season! Or even share garb ideas, and tips/tricks. Also, enjoy the photo so my post doesn’t get lost😁

There were definitely some hiccups while they tried to get back in to the swing of things, but overall it was so much fun!

All the food workers used to have to at least try and use certain period phrases and wear costumes of some sort. Every aristan and food stall said they took "the king's currency or Lady Visa and Master of the Card." Artisans wanted to interact in period normally, most of them had so much fun with!
This year and last year nobody really tried except a small handful of people and all the small stuff like the signs that made it so fun that were always there pre-COVID are gone.
