Despite being in America, the one here is not called a Ren Fest, but a Medieval Faire. It’s also held at a B&B which was built to look like a medieval castle on the inside and the outside. I go for the music, which is lots of fun. The falconry demonstration can be neat too.
There are vendors which sell stupid ‘magic’ stuff, but it’s pretty decent overall.
Much better, however, is the Feast of the Hunter’s Moon in Lafayette, Indiana, which is the same idea as a Renaissance Festival, except for Colonial America/France and the indigenous American nations that lived in Indiana at the time… The food is more authentic and the costumes are amazing. There are dozens of regiments that march through the field and they set up and live like it was the late 1700s. It’s probably the only time you can get rabbit stew in Indiana.
