WA State Faire's/Cons?

Hey ya'll!

Long time lurker of this sub, and I have been dying to go to a faire or a con near me for ages!

I'm in WA state and was hoping to info wrangle about events in Sasquatch territory ;) What kind of $$ was spent to get tickets? For event retail? Food? What was your favorite event?

I know of the Midsummer Fair, but very very little--So please share! I also heard of a fair popping up in Whidbey too?

How is the Queen chosen at Ren Faire?

Might be a dumb question, but I went to my first Ren Faire today and had a blast. I was just curious who decides who the Queen is? I mean is it an acting job? A family friend from who is putting on the Faire? I’m assuming it’s different everywhere but any insight/anecdotes are welcomed!

Does anyone have a spare ticket for the Carolina Renaissance festival for tomorrow, Sunday Nov 3rd?

My girlfriend and her sister were planning on attending but only managed to buy one ticket (maybe the last ticket available through the website). Does anyone have a ticket they can part with? We are traveling from Boone. Thank you

Had lots of fun at lady of the lake!

What an awesome ren faire this was! Great vendors, food, drinks, and shows. This was my first one, and I had a blast. If you are in Orlando or in the surrounding areas I’d highly suggest this one. I’d also highly recommend watching the Shakespeare Approves show. He’s amazing. I went as Jon Snow.

Looking for a Particular Vendor

Went to the Hot Springs Renaissance Faire today and dressed up as usual. I've been every year since it started, and this one particular vendor is always there, but I couldn't find them this year.

They sell corsets. I'm pretty sure they sell ONLY corsets, either that or they make up 90% of this vendor's goods. And there's so many of them that they have several racks in the area outside of their tent too.

I don't remember if all of their goods are made in-house, but I think they are. They are known for allowing free trade-ins if you've purchased from them before. This is why I'm looking for them. I bought one for myself and one for my daughter about 3 years ago. I recently lost a lot of weight, and I will have lost even more by next year's faire. My corset is now still wearable, but almost too loose, so I need a slightly smaller one.

My daughter, being a growing teenager, traded her first one for a new one a couple of years ago, but has now almost grown out of the second one and needs a new size as well. If absolutely necessary, I will consider just upgrading costumes, but I can't really afford it at the moment, which is why I was just looking for the trade in.

If anyone can help me figure out who the vendor is, I would greatly appreciate it!

Carolina RenFaire (Sassafras!?)

Tomorrow I go to the Carolina RenFaire for the first time. How does it compare to Bristol (Kenosha Wisconsin)?? That’s my “home” faire and I am addicted to Sassafras. Please tell me they sell it there! Also, what’re some of your favorite vendors??

fantasy forest UK

heya, I've been desperate to go to a renfaire, I have a gorgeous medieval princess gown that I want to wear, but they're so hard to find here in the UK and most are just reenactments that aren't as fun as the renfaires you see online. I was wondering if anyone could share their experiences of fantasy forest?? what's the atmosphere like/how big is it/ is it worth it?? their website is obviously just acting like they're the best and I'd love some honest thoughts and opinions or if there's anything people would recommend instead :))

What are the must see faires and why?

As the title says, I am looking for the best ren faires in the country and why. Personally I am located in east Tennessee but travel is not a problem. I want to build my bucket list.

Are you part of any Guilds? I am part of the Privateer/Pirates Guild and one of the few females in the Rogues Guild. Would you join a guild?

Sources or ideas of merchant type costume?

Hey all! So, by default I'll usually go for pirate type costumes at costumed events, faires or halloween, but I desperately want to try something different while maintaining a few key factors.

  • breathable materials. I don't care about the nature of accessories but as long as the main items of clothing like pants, shirts, vests or jackets can breathe I'll he happy.
  • Room. I can't stand slim fitted clothing. Not only do I love the sway and theatrics baggier clothes and flowing poet shirts give, but I just feel more comfy.
  • storage. I've always utterly failed at the task of leaving my essentials at a hotel room or within a vehicle. Phone, wallet, glasses, glasses cleaners, glasses case and so on are always somewhere on me and finding costumed storage units has always proven tricky.

So, onto character, I really wanna try the merchant appearance. A fabric layered, semi bedazzled type being who justifiably has a good amount of storage on him. I come here to ask you guys for two things, one, any specifc fantasy or historic type of merchant I can look up for inspiration. Two, any accessories or costume items you think would suit the archetype and possibly a link to them if you'd be so generous😇

Renfaire Huntersville- Can I get a season pass if the day tickets for one day are sold out?

I was going to go on Saturday but I saw the tickets are already sold out. I saw that season passes are valid for any day. Could I just get a season pass to attend that day?

PSA: when you go through the process of becoming an orc, there will always be a point you have to remind yourself that you're not just becoming Old Gregg.
