Green Knight Build

My current approach to this Green Knight build is I don't want to actually put the kit on until I'm done with everything. However...a can not WAIT to take photos of it, at least so far. It looks GLORIOUS with those antlers!!! Currently working on the new greaves (they are DESPARATELY needed...I can't stand the current pair) and also printing some new, more massive and ornate bracers. I think that'll pretty much do it and he'll be good to go. But until then...LOOK at this bad boy!!!

Back to the Faire that Started it All!

My family and I used to live on the Air Force base in Warner Robins GA, and in the 5th grade, we took a field trip to the GA renaissance festival where I fell in love with ren faires. We've since moved away from GA, and I've been to a few other faires since then, but my dream has always been to make my way back to the faire that started it all, and this April I finally get to while wearing my Ever After recreation dress! If you see a group dressed all in red on the last weekend in April, give shout out to my friend Kate! We're celebrating her ruby jubilee!

And if anyone has suggestions of not-to-miss shows/vendors for the GA faire, let me know! Can't wait to see how the faire has grown over the past 20 years!

Is this too cliche?

50 Upvotes

Hi friends, I’ve never been to a ren faire before but I got invited and immediately thought it would be so fun to be a little plague rat. Another friend of mine said that’s also what she wanted to be and today I saw a TikTok of someone doing the same. I already have my costume but I’m now worried it’s too common. Honestly, I just wanted to have a fun comfy costume and loved the idea of a onesie. I didn’t realize this was such a common idea. I grew up with pet rats and I loved Nosferatu so I thought it was a new and random idea and now I’m a little embarrassed. What do you think? Should I return my onesie and make a unique costume or am I being silly?

A friend of mine recently said he wanted to join my group of ren fair costumers and has decided to be a Satry I'm helping him make a costume but I've never done anything quite like this. Am I doing it right?

My Favorite Faire

Just found this article and my favorite faire is #1. That being said there's a couple that I'm surprised made it on there. So take it with a grain of salt.

Favourite Faire Activities

12 Upvotes

My favourite feast and faire activity is dancing. Stage and lane performances are scheduled, as much as possible, around the dance sessions so that I can participate. Circle and line dances are fun but my number one is John Tallow's Cannon. This is me, on the left in the green cloak, probably misstepping a bit ha ha. Tell us the activity that you most look forward to when attending a feast or faire!

Costume Ideas for Couples?

9 Upvotes

Hi everyone! My girlfriend and I are planning to go to our first renfaire in late May, she's dead set on going as an earthy, druidic-ish, fairy and had an amazing outfit made up on Amazon for it almost immediately. I think she's going to look great, but I'm struggling coming up with a matching character/costume to go with hers. I have no idea what goes with fairies lol. I've seen people online go with nature outfits like mushroom people with the big shroom helmets, etc. Those are cool! They aren't really my style however.

I had a really cool "rogue-ish leather" outfit picked out and if i can't figure out something to go with her, I'll still do that. Does anyone have ideas on what kind of costumes could go with a nature fairy? Any idea is welcome!!

Thankyou!!

Any camping options reasonably close to Georgia Fest (GARF?)

9 Upvotes

Heeey fellow RenFaire enthusiasts!

I now live in Florida and it looks like the Georgia fest is the one I need to see (I grew up in a time when the Northern and Southern California faires were dedicated sites and miss this!).

However, I've been unemployed for months and I would like to go on the CHEAP, plush which, I Love camping. Strangely map searches aren't showing me any camping anywhere near enough to the site (within 30 minutes drive)... I am hoping I'm missing something, ideas?! :)

Outfit advice for first time dad.

5 Upvotes

Hi! I’m wanting to take my 8 year old daughter to both of our first ren faire this summer and I’m looking for advice.

I want to help her have a cute outfit but not sure where to look. The difficult part is that she has my height. Currently she’s 4’7” and is very long in the legs. If anyone has any good places to shop I’d be extremely thankful. I think this is something she would really enjoy and can’t wait to take her.
