A guy I went to high school with has been going to these things for 25 years.

I just don't get it, man.

They are too old to be kids, so they are adults.

Who gives a shite if they go to Ren Fairs?

Ren Faires are a blast - especially the well conducted ones that have great food and entertainment.

I'm 44. I've been going with friends and family for nearly 15 years. I enjoy it!

The goal is to work your way up from serf to lord in order to impose primae noctis.


...now that I think of it, aren’t these more “Medieval Festivals” rather than “Renaissance Festivals”?

I'm a history nerd who doesn't really need an excuse to see history related stuff..



I don't dress up or anything... Just fun to go to for a day and eat a turkey leg

They don’t use utensils but they do serve Pepsi.

Well the women in the pics look easy, so maybe that’s why the guys go.

Uhh, it’s fun.

If you can’t have a good time at the Texas Ren Fest, you’re just a miserable bastard.

I've been to one in my life and it was actually a pretty good time. Bought a full mead horn, a turkey leg and a nice hardwood, carved walking stick perfect for skull-cracking.

people hungering for the kind of community their parents and grandparents had, even if its a fantasy version of it. Nothing wrong with it imo.

I haven't been in years and wasn't interested due to covid restrictions, may go this year. Bring the kids and bring cash and try to get them interested in history even if its just titties wooden swords and turkey legs.
