A Renaissance Fairis an outdoor gathering set as if during medieval times (not to be confused with specialty restaurants). Not only is it like you are stepping back in time historically, but there’s also good food, drink, games, beautiful handmade wares to buy and fun times to be had.
You do not need to dress up in garb (costume), but it’s more fun if you do.
Think of the Knights of the Round Table, Henry the Eighth, Queen Elizabeth the First of England, etc. If you ever dreamed of being a Viking, Pirate, or Romeo & Juliet, then this is your chance! Looking for what to wear to a Renaissance fair? Any of the above is exactly the vibe you should be invoking in your wardrobe. Don’t stop short there…this magical land also welcomes fairies, wizards and elves (oh my!). Now’s your chance to dress up, even though it’s not even Halloween.

REGARDLESS, do NOT forget to note where you’ve parked. We’ve driven many a friend around the lots looking for their car. Not fun!

The fair that you attend may have one flushing privy (bathroom), if you’re lucky, but prepare to wait in long lines. So, in anticipation, make sure to also bring: Hand sanitizer, wipes, and there’s a magical spray called “Poo-Pourri”which is th...
