  • Maybe there is a cultural misunderstanding on my side? Where I live, we have so called “medieval markets” which are actually more like a fair than a market and everything there, like market stands and costumes are pretty strictly in medieval style. Those events are very much about diving into another historical era for a few hours. Sure, most of the guests are not in costumes but I imagine having furries and trekkies in costumes there, would impact the overall atmosphere much, much more. I assumed that renaissance faires in America where similar events but I now I wonder if I assumed wrong and maybe they are more like fantasy conventions?
