Same. It used to be a lot more of historical reenactment, and a lot of the performances and stuff still reflect that.
But the last few times I’ve gone it’s mainly been a themed craft show with corsets and tunics, and yeah, people with wings, steampunk hats, and Cloud’s buster sword, or tails hanging out of their pants. :|
IDK man, the more historical Renaissance fairs still exist, with people a bit more strict about dressing period-appropriately. The ones you’re talking about are basically a whole separate thing, it’s basically a fantasy-inspired comic-con, and attracts a whole different audience.
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with either. I think it’s awesome that there’s places for people to sell their niche handmade goods while sporting the fashions of 17th-century France or whatever, as well as places where people can dress up like fantasy creatures, tails and all.

Renaissance times must’ve been wild, y’all. Lol
Imma be honest. I don’t get the whole LARP scene. It’s weird AF. Happy for people finding something they like but damn.
