I think I vaguely remember going to one when I was in elementary school. But possibly dreamed that idk.

Does everyone wear the full garb? Where does one obtain a costume?
 
Doesnt really compare to the bigger ones, but still a good time jmo

The attending public doesn’t dress up only the “employees” that are part of all the various entertainment offerings.

The Festival in Chaska (MN) advertises themselves as the largest Ren Fest in the country. U of Minn theatre students are everywhere (in costume, of course).

The site they have is massive compared to the one near Omaha or Larkspur. Every third booth is food or booze. Jousting, jugglers, various theatre, comedians (Puke & Snot) and other fun shit.

Chaska is so big it’s near impossible to cover it all in one day.

I remember going to that one when I was a kid! It was absolutely massive from what I remember.
 
There's definitely a bunch of weirdos there. Most women dressed up wear the medieval style corsets or whatever the hell it's called with their cleavage pushed up to about their chins. Some are desirable, some are wretched wenches. Food is generally solid, and they have several pubs, at least KC did to pound a variety of beers. The tomato throwing was the highlight for me, especially hearing the insults the dudes throws at people. Some weakling barely got a tomato to the guy in the stalks and he calls out "This here is why women still use vibrators." Shoot crossbows, bow and arrows, throwing axes was fun. The joust is somewhat entertaining. Basically turns into some pro wrasslin style skit.
