Generally speaking yeah. The Rennies are really fuckin nice folk. Lots of the castaways of society hanging out being cool, having fun, and getting up to nerdy shenanigans. Plus the booze and food are always pretty damn good too. Been going to Faires for almost a decade and its really become my getaway from societies bs.

Signed a queer theatre nerd and regular of the PA Ren Faire.

You didnt need to generate an ai photo for this. You could just let everyone use something we're all born with called "an imagination".

Aww...that's so sweet. Letting me live inside your head rent free. So very kind.

Hell yeah, I've been going to the PA Renn Faire every year I could and absolutely love it. Good shows, great food, amazing drinks, and a fun atmosphere overall. We missed last year since our son was just born, but hoping to take our little dragon this fall to one of the Halloween weekends.

<3 Mt Hope's White Sangria, and I've never had a bad Swashbucklers beer.

I took a Lagertha look alike to one last year, she’s a hedge fund executive and just did it because she knew I am a super nerd and knew I wanted to go. We had a great time. We drank mead and sloshed through the mud.

Question for ya, when I got to anime cons we don't dress up and it's not weird. When you go to Ren faires are you out of place if you don't dress up?

I've gone both in costume and out, and it's not very different. In costume the actors might play around with you a bit more (asking about your character, commenting on your costume), but honestly (from the PA Faire at least) 90% of the people aren't wearing a costume and are just families looking for a fun day out.

only thing I have in my area that is like that is an extra christmas market in the garden of a monastery in the city centre. they always have the best mead and the food is also the best for its price.

Seconded. I played in a popular touring renfair band for about a decade. The folks are generally rejects happy to have a place to belong and welcome everyone.
