According to Wikipedia, “A Renaissance fair, Renaissance faire, or Renaissance festival is an outdoor weekend gathering, usually held in the United States, open to the public and typically commercial in nature, which emulates a historic period for the amusement of its guests. Renaissance fairs generally include an abundance of costumed entertainers or fair-goers, musical and theatrical acts, art and handicrafts for sale, and festival food. Many Renaissance fairs were set during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I of England. Some were set earlier, during the reign of Henry VIII, or in other countries, such as France, and some were set outside the era of the Renaissance; these may include earlier Medieval periods (including Vikings), or later periods, such as 17th-18th Century pirates. Some engage in deliberate "time travel" by encouraging participants to wear costumes representing several eras in a broad time period. Renaissance fairs encourage visitors to enter into the spirit of things with costumes and audience participation.”
But for us, Renaissance festival is about getting dressed up in historical costumes, visiting fairs and get together, buying antique products for our home and gifting and enjoying the day in and out. Since history contains a lot of traditions, eras and places, it often becomes difficult to select the kind of costume we would like to wear on the festival. Here is a list of a few categories that you might want to pick out. The options available are for women, men, kids – boys and girls and teens – boys and girls.
Toga Costumes
Get drowned in the Roman culture with the Toga costume. It was a 20 ft (6 m) woolen cloth used by the Roman citizens to wrap around their bodies over a linen tunic. Pretty, simple and clean is what it would make you look like when you get into this attire for this Renaissance festival. We have one for you if you are a woman, a man or a teen.
