If It's Not Halloween,
Where Do You Wear a Renaissance Costume?

The first renaissance faire began in 1963 in Southern California. Since that time, the phenomenon has spread across North America, and is making inroads in many other countries. Medieval festivals, Viking battles, pirate costume festivals, and historical reenactments of many other eras have also sprung up, offering a feast of sights, sounds and smells in a world where we are all used to viewing history in only two dimensions on a movie or TV screen. When history springs to life, it's a lot more fun! With over 180 Renaissance Festivals across the USA, you'll never be without a place to wear your Renaissance Costume! Plus, you'll already have a Renaissance Halloween costume to wear later in the year, too.  Click here for a listing of Renaissance Faires.

The Renaissance Faire in Pennsylvania is one of the largest in the country. Watch the video below for a peek at what you can expect!

The Renaissance (French for "rebirth") was a cultural movement that spanned roughly the 14th to the 17th century, beginning in Florence in the Late Middle Ages and later spreading to the rest of Europe, creating the Elizabethan period in history. Across the USA today, Renaissance Faires and Festivals are hugely popular and very fun! Whether performing at a Renaissance Fair or attending one, wearing a medieval renaissance costume is a must. Choose an adult renaissance costume for men, an elegant gown for women, a plus size renaissance costume, and there's also a great selection of kids renaissance clothing costume.
