so people can enjoy what life was like long ago before we had the things we do now like phones, TVs, and other technology.
the Renaissance festival
A patron is someone who supports someone financially, not someone who goes to festivals.
Over the years Renaissance festivals is the most exciting thing to happen. Large number of people hosts such festivals in their best attires. The participants flaunt their renaissance clothing during the occasion, so they wear best renaissance clothing. People of all ages participate and come along with their family and friends. This period was the time of enlightenment and perhaps the most romanticized period in history, a time when chivalry was king and knowledge was the power. As the society and economy changed, new ideas began to popup.
