Renaissance Fair ’24

It’s an annual tradition now, for my friends and I to go to a Renaissance Fair in the fall. September, 2024 marked our 3rd consecutive year.

What’s a better way to start off the school year than driving 6 hours to go outside and walk around with a bunch of people dressed in a variety of medieval outfits and costumes? This is one of my favorite parts of the year, getting to see so many of the people I care about having fun being the very strange people we are.

Our group has grown every year as we all meet new people we want to bring along. We used to go to our local Ren Fair in Carver, MA. Now, as we’re all spread out and in college, we’ve decided the Connecticut Renaissance Fair is better for everyone (it’s also less than half the price!!) and now I am the only one 6 hours away. oops…

The Ren Fair is the thing I look forward to most every year, I love planning it and figuring out what we’re going to do and where we’re going to stay even if it’s not how it all goes down when we get there. I’ll find myself deep dive planning MONTHS in advanced just because of how excited I am to be there aging.
