Reminder that tickets sales, exchanges, or offers are not allowed on the sub.
As we all know, Renn Faires have become more popular, and with that there are more scams and bots out there for tickets.
The policy of the sub is that no ticket activity is allowed here.
Thanks for continuing to keep our sub a great community!

A Renaissance festival or faire is a themed event that typically takes place outdoors, like a county fair, but showcases elements of the Renaissance period, such as music, dance, food, arts and crafts, and historical reenactments.
Start by checking The Ren List. Renaissance festivals are held at various times throughout the year, depending on the location. They can be found in many cities and towns across the United States and around the world.
You can pretty much wear anything you like. Attendees are encouraged to dress in Renaissance-themed attire, but there are usually no strict guidelines (check with your local festival for rules). Many people also choose to wear costumes from other fandoms.
Some Renaissance festivals allow swords as part of a costume if they are properly sheathed and "peace tied". "Peace tied" means the sword is secured in a sheath or scabbard so it can't be removed or openly displayed. Some festivals do not allow weapons at all. Check with your local festival for more information.
At a Renaissance festival, you can expect to see various performers, including musicians, jugglers, dancers, and actors. There are also craft vendors selling handmade goods, food vendors, and interactive activities like archery and sword fighting demonstrations.
Most Renaissance festivals have food and drink vendors on-site, so outside food and drinks may not be allowed. However, some festivals do allow you to bring in a water bottle or small snack. Contact your local festival for more information.
Yes, Renaissance festivals are typically family-friendly events with activities and entertainment for all ages. There are usually children's areas with games and crafts, as well as family-friendly performances and demonstrations.
The cost of attending a Renaissance festival can vary depending on the location and the activities offered. Tickets are usually sold in advance or at the gate, and prices may range from $20 to $50 per person.
Many Renaissance festivals rely on both employees and volunteers to help with various aspects of the event, such as set-up, ticket sales, and clean-up. If you are interested in participating as a performer or vendor, you can contact the festival organizers for more information. Another option is to join a “guild” or a group of performers. You can ask your local festival for guild information.

This weekend was Myth and Monsters at the Ohio Renaissance Festival, and I had some really cool visitors stop by the shop! I got some great pictures, so I wanted to share them with everyone. All the pictures in this post fit the theme of the weekend.
Next week, I’m planning to take pictures of the general Faire so everyone can see more of what goes on around here.
Hope you enjoy the pictures!

May I present Pickle Dagger? As a bonus, vaguely threatening and much easier to eat while watching the joust.

I made everything except for the boots, pants, bag, and shirt. The bracers were the most amount of work, but the tooling and painting were the most time consuming parts. And my Mjolnirrow held up the whole day for a hasty application and second attempt at this look!

Edit: I'm referencing to my bad experience last year getting my 3d printed hilt taken away:

New snat dropped at Ravenwood Rennfaire. Just wanted to show off the orange angel baby who's never done anything wrong in his life ever.

Sunday was the last day of this season's Festival, and after umpteen years of attending, it finally dawned on me that I can use the shields on the palisade wall to help me find my car. What can I say? I'm an unwashed peasant.

Big thanks to everyone who encouraged my craziness on a previous post. 🙏🏻
I attended my first ever RenFaire this weekend and ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT! 🤩
I will most certainly be back to another one (or two or more!) in the future.
My favorite parts were the Celtic Music bands (shout out to Craic and Reeling Rogues) and all of the lovely people dressed up in a glorious variety of costumes and colors and textures and themes… I just walked around for hours and gawked at all of your creativity like a I was freaking tourist.
If you see me at a Faire in the future, come say hi! I love meeting new friends.
🤔 QUESTION: how many different Faire outfits do you have? Or do you just rock the one over and over again? Genuinely curious what different people do….

My bf and I went as Frieren and Himmel to the Renaissance Faire! The picture of him trying to grab me from looking into the mimic sends me LMFAO. Unfortunately one of the ponytails of my wig broke in the car, hence the bobbypins 💔 I used Uhu glue but it still wound up snapping

All the guides that I read (2) said 150 skewers. I bought some Halloween tinsel at thrift and after plucking out the pumpkins, hats and bats, I have more than enough fluff. But no where near enough skewers. I just ordered 200 more 10”.
I also ordered 400 6” because I’m totally gonna do it again haha but with a smaller sphere next time hopefully.
I’ve seen this thing around for awhile but after finding the perfect two-fer staff I decided now’s the time!
This is all the white himself I could get but I have black/white and black/silver. So I was going to make a gradient mix but am open to suggestions.

Had a great time time yesterday.

We had an absolute blast out there today. The weather actually cooperated, so I wasn't roasting alive inside my kit for once.
My favorite film this year was The Odyssey, and lately I've fallen completely down the Dungeon Crawler Carl rabbit hole (currently tearing through Book 2).
So imagine my surprise when I turned a corner and ran straight into the King of Mycenae himself, followed by Carl and Princess Donut!
