I have been to a renaissance fair before.
I do too! It is usually a outdoors gathering here in the united states.
How long have they been around?
They have been around for many years but some actually hold events for earlier periods like the 17th and 18th century
I would like to see those!
It is really cool! Some engage in deliberate "time travel" by encouraging participants to wear costumes .
I've seen some crazy costumes at one!
I like to go for the food and the arts and crafts but that is just me. some of the musicals and theatrical performances are really good.
I really enjoy a massive turkey leg.
Some have a campsite so people can stay overnight.
