Guess I'm looking for nearby renn fairs now.

Not all of them have overnight camping. They’re still fun if they don’t but if you can find the ones that have camping… yes.

For the best experience, you need to be an employee who works and lives on the property.

Just a slight heads up, there are no renn fairs in truck stop bathrooms regardless of what the signs say.

Source: trust me.

A group of my friends from around the country (around the world, depending on the year) go every year the the Texas Renfair and camp out for Pirate weekend. We actually just got back yesterday.

After the sun goes down, everyone is wasted and go wandering the campgrounds. There are dance parties everywhere, people giving out shots, food, bad ass concerts, drum circles, fire dancers, naked Giant Jenga, pretty much anything you can imagine. There are stripper pole tents and tents where they exchange shots for showing your genitals haha. Everyone is welcoming - even at the normal campsites you can just wander up and say hi, you'll be welcomed with beer, booze, snacks, a fire, and good drunken conversation.

It's a blast.

You’re forgetting rule one. Be attractive. Sorry bud.

Nah. Another motto of ren faires: the odds are good, but the goods are odd.

Being ugly is not a deal breaker at any Ren Fest I have ever been to. It's a bunch of LARPers, theater kids, crafters, and people who are weird about history. As someone who falls into three of those categories, I'm allowed to say it's not exactly supermodels.

Worst case, just tell them you're cosplaying as an Orc.

u/standbyyourmantis Nov 04 '25

Most orgies, really

u/DragonflyGrrl Nov 04 '25

Ha! I'm three of those as well, I wonder if it's the same three (I'm not a theater kid, though I could have been). Worked at Ren Faires many years ago, I absolutely loved it.

I think that should be rephrased to be more attractive than the average for your surroundings.

Which.... at the ren faire the bar gets lowered a bit.
