What is a Renaissance Faire? |
Renaissance faires, or
"renfaires," are usually set within the period of the Renaissance (about
1454-1610) or the Middle Ages (about 476-1453) and often include elements of fantasy.
They’re populated with costumed characters that interact with each other and with
you. Banners floating in the

The Very Merry Seamstress ~ This is a wonderful, friendly & fun website about Renaissance costumes. In their own words: One of the reasons Renaissance Faires are so popular is that they give grownups permission to play. When you attend these events in costume, it invites further interaction with other faire patrons. We're here to help you find that inner child and get into the art of "play." And trust us, we're REALLY good at it. ;-) We simply never stopped playing! We will work with you to create an absolutely stunning gown for you AND will help you create your very own persona to go along with your new duds! We want you to laugh, find that inner child and thoroughly enjoy yourself! So get into it - create a character, storyline and history for yourself. Brush up on your historic linguistic skills, interact with others and simply have as much fun as you possibly can. If we don't make you smile, we're not doing our job right.
