Ranking the BEST Renaissance Faires ⚔️

Went to the colorado Ren faire for the first time this summer. Absolutely loved it. I went alone and met SO MANY amazing kind people. Seriously everyone was so nice and 90% of people dressed up at least somewhat. They take their costumes SERIOUSLY at this faire. I do think the joust was underwhelming sadly. The wisconsin joust was much better.

If you ever want a renn fair in Texas in the spring I recommend Sherwood Forest fair. My friends and I hit Texas renn fest in the fall and Sherwood Forest fair in the spring. Similar ticket pricing and vibes we always try to get 15 plus people to get the discounted tickets at each fair. Both fairs I have had people walk up and hangout and handout little trinkets ♥️ It is a wonderful time, I highly recommend! :)

I love your Ren Faire content! It’s very fun and informative. I live in continental Europe and we don’t have Ren Faires per se here, but we have festivals that take place at historical medieval sites like castles and ruins and you can see some reenactments, shows, and get food and do shopping. I guess they might classify as tiny Ren Faires, haha, but visitors don’t dress up to attend (sadly). My friends and I are into fantasy/D&D/larping, though, so sometimes we just drive to a nearby castle that has a medieval themed restaurant in one of the buildings (it’s amazing), and we have a feast while in costumes, it’s great fun. In the evenings there are activities as well, and once I won a swordplay competition wearing an outfit inspired by Ciri from The Witcher 😂🖤

I grew up going to the ren fair in Bonner Springs, KS. I highly recommend checking that one out Tomorrow I will be going to the one in Larkspur, CO for the first time!

I super love that you did this video Thankyou. So helpful ❤

I feel like you would LOVE the Maryland Ren Faire! Tons of shows, booths, jousting, a designated food court and almost everyone was dressed in fantasy costumes!

This is what I was looking for! Thanks 🎉

I'll probably run the few miles up to the Fair in Bristol, WI tomorrow. The weather forecast is beautiful. I mainly go for the music, which sadly is not as good as it used to be.

You should go to some of the East Coast Renfairs. Maryland has a rather large one. There used to be a good one in the Tampabay area, but it is not so good anymore since they keep having to move further and further out of town. When it was in Largo, it was pretty good. I have been to the Colorado Refair and thought it was great.

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!

Hi Lanchen! I am going to the Texas Ren Faire the first weekend of 2024. If you want to go with people who are fun come join me and walk around! we will have a blast!

TRF is a good one if you are young and can take part in all the "extracurricular" activities. For a family, especially with young kids, it's exhausting and a frankly mid experience. Ticket prices aren't bad though. But then you have to pay for parking and getting into the place is a nightmare unless you show up well after the day starts. The Colorado Ren Fest is now our home Faire and it's by far the best I've been to. Especially taking into account we have a young family. It's size is perfect for a day of activities. The ppl are fantastic. They pull many great show performers. Shopping is ok. Lots of great food options. We go at least several times each year.

I think it would be awesome to do reviews of all Renaissance festivals!!

Your glowing review of the TX faire is going a long way to convincing me to hit it up in the next couple of years. I've been to the one in Muskogee OK, and the small one in Hot Springs AR, but I'm traveling out to visit a friend in DC this October and go to the MD fest, so that's my big trip for this year. I also want to go to the one in NM, because I love being out there where my mom's family is from.

Iem on the east coast & have been to both the Pa. & Md. Ren. fests several times. The Maryland was the best. I was in pyrate garb & people thought I was part of the Fest.

Try the Canterbury Faire ! It’s so small and cute and tiny eheheh. Crowd is great vendors are amazing. OREGON RF is also on my bucket list !!

Hi! If you love the educational stuff so much you might like the SCA(Society for Creative Anachronism). I'm sure there's a chapter in your area. It's basically ren faires but all year around where everyone dresses up every time and it's all historical and fun :)

You should try Yule Viking Festival in Gladewater TX. Totally historical based. Awesome event

Another good Faire to check out is the NC one.

For Irwindale I went on a gloomy Sunday and it was a great crowd level ! Thank you for the breakdown !
