The thing with what I've seen at Renaissance fairs, is that it they are really Medieval fairs. What one sees has as much to do with 13th and 14th Century as the 15th.

What do you call people who go to Renaissance Faires?

"Renaissance Fairies"?

We went to one last summer. A mix of people from old and young hippies, to conservative Christian homeschoolers with a period costume making hobby. I liked the fair. It includes people who enjoy playing, in a way reasonably ok for grown-ups. The wood-workers, swordsmen, etc. were interesting. Especially the falconry lady, who had live birds of prey.

I also liked the music.

Not liked: the new age and wicca influences, and the young people who were flaunting their cleavage (ok, a little envy there.)
