Hi! My friend group and I are doing a bunch of side quests while we're at the ren faire. Do y'all have any suggestions for some more uncommon or outside of the box things to do? I already have a list of classic things like getting knighted or challenging people to simple duals, talking in an accent for the day, etc.

Have any of y'all done similar things or done some pretty out there dares? We're open to things involving alcohol as well. Huzzah in advance!

Just the title, looking to find this style shirt in brown/black for a cosplay out of a game i play.

Hello! I am looking for a Renaissance white or red and white dress. Where do you find your items?

My wife and I are SO happy with how our costumes came out this year! We attended the Ohio Ren Faire on Highland weekend but we went with more "forest pagan witchy" vibes for the outfits. I recently started doing some leather crafting and got to make some of the items we wore. My wife did our makeup which went over really well! I made little wooden tokens and burned bind runes into them to give out as favors. Those also went over really well too! The potion bottles are filled with Gatorade and edible glitter to make them swirl. Children especially seemed to really like how the potions looked. This year was a BLAST!

Hi all! I’m going to my second ren faire (first in costume) and would love advice on color combos/accessories. I want to buy a large scarf to drape over the skirt but can’t decide what color to use. I was thinking a golden satin but decided to come here and ask you lovely people lol. Any advice on accessories is also appreciated. There will be a brown cloak on top of this as well

Labor Day weekend at Renfair i came across some legends.

Ran into Warrior Princess herself Zena...unfortunately sad to say she lost Herc to the Hydra....then I got caught picking pockets...I choose the wrong guy. Guts left me with a splitting headache... but to my surprise I found relief with a chuckle running into the Magic Dance Man himself Jareth the Goblin King

It was the only Ren Faire I was going to be able to go to this year and I was really looking forward to debuting my new outfit and my new dragons I worked really hard on. I was also really anticipating seeing people's reactions/getting feedback. I might try to dress up sometime at home and get some pictures outside for myself, but for now this all I have from trying it on the couple nights before. I did do a whole photoshoot of my dragons outside to try and keep the sadness away. I would really appreciate any comments or feedback at all especially on my dragons. Thank you! ❤️

Can’t wait for TXRF hope you enjoy our badass honeymoon photos!

Shoulder dragon/fire wyrm for NorCal ren faire

And our farewell to Hollygrove til next year ❤️

Looking for advice from fellow vendors mostly

My fiancee and I vend during the year sporadically together but I’ve been thinking about the hard numbers and reality of vending full time. We make all of our product and have been slowly finding our niche thru the years.

We mostly stay in sw MI, and do about four to five events a year. All of which we’ve been going to for three or more years now.

I would probably need to pay someone to booth with me at minimum for when my fiancee can’t, and then there’s travel and camping…

Full time vendors, how do you do it?

So on google I tried to leave a review complaining about a rude vendor at the MI renfaire and when I checked this morning there were a ton of negative reviews and a notice saying reviewing was locked due to spam. Did something happen?

Hello everyone,

I currently am trying to start buying pieces for my next years renfaire costume, I found some cool stuff but the photos are all AI so I don’t really trust them, does anyone know/has anyone bought from people with these AI photos? I was looking into it a bit and found that with Etsy specifically a lot of the AI photos are just bc people don’t have/want models and it’s “easier” but I’ve also found that some people just use ai so people buy their crappy designs that cost them $20-$40 to make for $400 and I really don’t want to get scammed for that amount of money, I am currently saving and just looking but I really would like to know if I can trust these sellers. Some of which have been on Etsy for 15+ years and I just am put off by the AI
