How to go to a renaissance fair
It made me
Satisfied
 "Long drive, but plenty of fun!"
How I did it: I made the trip down to Texas and spent all day browsing through fun renaissance shops, watching sword fighting, eating yummy food and sampling wines. It was a weekend well spent. The weather could have been better, but it was still fun. |

How I did it: Just went to the one in Southern Ohio - quite a few times including my honeymoon and my brother's wedding last year. I've also taken my kids a couple times - they absolutely love it. Read how I did it…
How I did it: My friend's family goes every year and for the past few years, they've invited me to go. The Ren fair is madness and mayhem wrapped in fun costumes and tasty turkey legs. We always dressed up which actually makes you fit in more and is just fun. Read how I did it…

How I did it: Went to the one near Flint, Michigan (maybe this should have been the first clue). The costumes were pretty cool. If I went again, I would want to dress up, as well. It was really a case of the people who payed $35 to get in being the only real attraction. Other than that it was just stores trying to sell things everywhere. I thought there would be some cool items, but it was mostly junk you could find nearly anywhere (with the exce… Read how I did it…

How I did it: My parents used to take me to the colorado renaissance fair once in a while- back then I was too young to truly appreciate the culture venue.I went back a few years ago with one of my friends and we had the best time! I studied so much old english literature that it was truly a treat to go and live in my fav time period for a day.I now try to go back every other summer. My goal is to eventually dress up in full costume. Read how I did it…

How I did it: Great food, great beer, a little dusty but oh well.www.renfair.com/socalI would suggest going all out and dressing up, I didn't and wished I had. It's so much easier to get into the spirit of things :) I made up for it by purchasing a corset :) Read how I did it…
kaizen3 Feeling refreshed.
A friend has a tent at a renaissance fair in Texas, so I’m going to go down there for a weekend sometime this month. It’s been a long time since I’ve been to a ren fair…maybe 7th grade? I’ve already ordered my costume, and I’m pretty much ready to go!

Going can be a lot of fun, as long as you find one that isn’t just thrown together and completely commercial. The one I went to was just a bunch of stores who wanted your money, and hardly any of them even sold unique items.
The highlight of the trip was seeing Goetic demon sigils made into necklaces and being sold as some type of astrological “good luck charms”. That sure was funny.

I’m excited. I’m going with my friend and some of her friends to one of these and I’ve never been to one. I wish I had some type of renaissance-like clothing I could wear. I’m sure I’ll find something half-way there. Or not. I know this will be fun no-matter-what. A little less than a month to go!

Not actually giving up, but putting on hold because in my current situation it’s unrealistic. Anyway, I have another 50 things I want to do that I don’t even have posted on this site, so I’m taking down the ones that wont be achievable until the future and posting the ones I can focus on now.

It was a lot of fun, even though it rained the whole time
I guess that could have made it more authentic…
And it was excellent!! we camped out overnight at the Texas Renaissance Fair, which is reputed to be to largest in the USA. There were bonfires and belly dancing and people dressed up like elves, pirates and pixies all over the place, all night long, it was like Christmas, Halloween and Mardi Gras all rolled into one! The fair grounds are gorgeous… I will definitely be doing it again next year.
We know people and have cousins that are very into the whole SCA thing. However, we (the Mister and I) have always ducked that bullet for some reason. Just never got into it.
Well, if you haven’t been, the faires are a riot. Full of stuff that is moderately to expensively priced (depends on where in the country you go. We are in Georgia with a well established faire). Some of the stuff if just mind-boggling. Some of it is well entertaining.
All in all, definitely worth an afternoon’s entertainment, and if you find the spirit moves you – good for entertainment long into the evening as well.
