Renaissance festival
Costumed history celebration
A Renaissance festival is a fair or outdoor event themed around the European Renaissance period, typically featuring costumed performers, jousting, craft demonstrations, period food, and theatrical entertainment.
Attendees often dress in elaborate costumes—knights, wenches, fairies.
Despite the historical premise, the atmosphere tends toward playful anachronism: We go to the Ren faire every year and eat turkey legs the size of our heads.
