Renaissance fair
Medieval costume gathering
A Renaissance fair (also Renaissance faire or Ren faire) is a themed outdoor festival recreating—loosely—the atmosphere of early modern Europe, typically featuring costumed participants, jousting, craft demonstrations, period food, and entertainment like juggling and music.
The historical accuracy varies widely; the emphasis is on escapist entertainment rather than scholarship: We dress up and go to the Ren faire every fall.
