Renaissance fairs have been getting their own fair share of the limelight with the growing number of events all-throughout the states. Whether as a permanent event people could visit or as a special highlight, such as that of a moving circus, renaissance fairs have successfully given their selves a name.
But why are renaissance fairs a hit?
Renaissance fairs are events held that try to reproduce the time before us, particularly the medieval age where Knights and Kings and magic once lived. These are all brought to life through activities and events and even people in costumes, walking all-around the area. Sometimes, jousting is even performed by professional actors while others take this as an opportunity to relive history and familiarize themselves with the medieval times.
There are several factors while renaissance fairs are a hit among people, one of which is entertainment. Unlike modern-day entertainment, renaissance fairs appeal to people because of the ability to play pretend, the idea of people dressing up in medieval clothes, Tudor clothes or even Tristan clothing, walking all-over ‘town' is a sight to behold.

Some people just enjoy the activities made available to them, such as churning butter or even get your future revealed to before you with palmistry and tarot reading.
The festivity of the occasion, particularly the joyful atmosphere encourages fun among people! There are others who take advantage of the festivities as a break-away from the everyday work they experience and use the opportunity to bond with family and with friends.
Over-all, renaissance festivals are a good place to have fun and mingle with other people while getting to know more of the time that has passed. Much of the things we enjoy today, such as clothing, jewelry, hairstyle and even haircolor were all affected by how they were once were then. And if you ever heard of retro, you would know what I mean.
Renaissance fairs are also a hit among children because they appeal to the imagination and creativity of the young ones where they get to be people and mythological characters they once dreamed off, and play roles such as Knights and Princesses, all of which they have never imagined would come true, not even in their wildest dreams!
