Ren Faire Tips for First-Timers 🧚🏽‍♀️👑🐎🏹

have you ever been to a Renaissance Faire? 👑

this was my second year going and I had just as much fun as I did my first year. that being said, here are some tips for first-timers ⬇️:

• dress up! it's more fun when you're a part of the theme, and if you don't dress up, you're (MUCH) more likely to get picked on at the shows

• comfortable footwear is a must, it's a lot of walking and the ground is uneven

• bring lots of cash! even though the site says most take Venmo, I've found that to not be the case, especially if you want to drink

• if you're fair, wear sunscreen and bring some with you to reapply, you're the gonna be in the sun most of the day

• grab a schedule and plan out your itinerary when you get in, if there's a show you want to watch, make sure to plan around that

• if you want to watch jousting, plan to get to the arena AT LEAST 1 hour early to get a seat

• there are cosplay days where people dress up as anything, if you prefer not to dress in Renaissance garb but have a different costume, those would be the days to go!

• the games are my personal favorite and they have a ton from knife-throwing to a dunk tank to archery and crossbows and more

• ladies, it gets hot and if you're prone to chafing, wear shorts or bring a chafing stick 😉

... Read moreWhen attending a Renaissance Faire for the first time, immersing yourself in the experience is key. Dressing up in themed attire can greatly enhance your experience and make you feel part of the festivities, as it's common for attendees to engage in dress. Good footwear is crucial because fairs typically involve a lot of walking on uneven ground. It’s wise to bring cash as many vendors may not accept cards or mobile payments, especially for drinks. If you're fair-skinned, apply sunscreen liberally, as you’ll likely be outdoors for the whole day. After entering the fair, grab the schedule and plan your day around must-see shows; popular events like jousting require early arrival. For those who prefer modern costumes, note that some venues allow cosplay on specific days. The variety of games, from archery to knife-throwing, can also add to your enjoyment. Finally, be prepared for hot weather by wearing comfortable attire and considering anti-chafing solutions. This ensures a pleasant experience so that you can fully relish the magic of the Renaissance Faire!
