I have never been to a Renaissance Fair.
Renaissance fairs are so much fun! There's so much to see and do like costumed entertainers, musical and theatrical acts, art and handicrafts for sale, and festival food.
What are they all about?
Many Renaissance fairs are set during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I of England and encourage visitors to enter into the spirit of things with costumes and audience participation. It's like being transported back in time to another era.
Oh that sounds neat. How long have people been doing that?
I'm not sure, but some renaissance fairs are permanent theme parks, while others are short-term events in a fairground, winery, or other large public or private spaces.
