Renaissance Costume

The Renaissance was a time of rebirth, and marked a jump in art, literature, religion, and science throughout Europe. The effects of this time period are still being felt today. Around the country there are hundreds of Renaissance Fairs every year where fans can dress up in Renaissance costumes and see shows, feast on period cuisine, and partake in other activities. Renaissance Fairs may be set in the Elizabethan Era of England, though other popular themes include 18th century pirates or the French Renaissance. For many, historical accuracy is a must, and costume wearers, artisans, and entertainers go all out for the celebration.
