Pearson’s Period Costumes are Perfect for Renaissance Faire Attendees

If you never have been to a Renaissance Faire, and you are a fan of history, fantasy, the Medieval era, the Renaissance era, or even theatre, you should really try to get to one this year! Renaissance faires are a plethora of fun, food, games, and excitement and can really be enlightening for those who wish to learn what times were like back in that era. These types of events are also an excellent way to meet other enthusiasts for this specific genre.

Not only can you learn a lot about history at a Renaissance faire, but you at times can feel like you've been transported back to those times. As you wander around the faire grounds and see all of the reenactors in their Medieval period costumes, it's like you're walking down a street in the Middle Ages. When you see actual knights compete in a joust competition, you get the sense of what combat was like in that era. Watching real blacksmiths working over a hot forge allows you to appreciate the hard work that was required to survive.

That is why if you do decide to venture to a Renaissance faire, we recommend that you dress up in period costumes as well. Period costumes allow you to immerse yourself into the atmosphere of the occasion as well as interact with other faire-goers. Other reenactors will recognize your desire to experience Medieval times and freely interact with you in kind, which always provides a great opportunity for entertainment and a true day away from modernity! Some faires even give prizes for the “best dressed” attendee, which is surely something to strive for.
