PA Yuletide Garb?

I heard the Yuletide at PARF is less Ren fair and more Xmas village. Is regular (cold weather) faire garb normal there or just dress for the weather?

Legally Blind & Looking for a Way to get to the Texas Viking Festival (13th-15th)! I'm in the Clear Lake area, would be happy to help with gas money if anyone wouldn't mind me tagging along!

The title says most of it, but I just did the renfest camping experience for the first time, loved it to death, and am now itching to get back out there! It'd just be me and I suppose my tent, a bag o' stuff, and a small fire pit.

Anyone in south houston/clear lake area or passing through it that wouldn't mind making a stop along the way to pick me up for the weekend of the 13th?

I would be incredibly grateful if so!! Comment or message me and we can connect from there!!

When do the tickets go on sale for 2025 PA Ren Faire?

I'd like to check it out with the fam for the first time, driving from NJ.

Also where do I buy it from? Didn't seem too clear.

what type of socks do you wear with your Son of Sandlars in the winter?

I am going to Yuletide village at the Ohio ren faire grounds for the first time. I am wondering what socks everyone likes to wear with their boots.

Where do you buy your boots?

I'd like to find some high quality knee and/or thigh high lace up leather boots but it's difficult to find places that sell them. Anyone have recommendations?

The Renaissance Confessional:

There is a well-received thread on one of our faire's FB Fans page asking what your Ren Fest secrets are.

It's been fun and it's approaching 200 comments, so I thought I might introduce it here.

Do you have any faire secrets you can share? (No judgement, within reason).
I'll Start:

After 31 years, the scent of turkey legs is enough to turn my stomach, and yet I crave them at least once a year.

Also, I have an estimated $700 or so in functional faire steel.
Rapiers, Long Swords, Kukri, Boarding Knives... and the collection is still growing.
The sad part? I don't wear weapons to faire. I haven't since before 2010, but I still can't resist the siren call of shiny pokey things. Kinda ashamed of that one. I keep meaning to sell some of them, but I never get around to it.

They just posted anyway tickets for ORF on sale. Get them while they are available I have a feeling they will go fast. Still unlikely to do discount season passes though. Bummer.

What is this upper garment called? A doublet with a "window" to see the shirt underneath?
