What happens at a LARP event or Renaissance faire?
People have fun at both of these events. When it comes to LARP, or Live-Action Roleplaying, many of these events are LARP battles. They involve people dressed up in costume as a character. LARPers will create their own unique character. At a LARP battle, these characters will fight in a group, usually with foam weapons. The main point of a LARP battle is to have fun in safety.
Meanwhile, a Renaissance faire is a festival with a medieval or Renaissance theme. They will have vendors for food and fun things to buy. There is often live entertainment and music. You can usually dress up for these faires. Some events may restrict what kind of accessories or items you can bring. Make sure to check with the LARP group or Ren faire about any restrictions before going to ensure that you are able to enjoy the event to the fullest.
What can I do at an SCA event?
SCA stands for Society for Creative Anachronism. This group focuses on historical reenactments. They can cover different eras, from Vikings to Renaissance and more. While the exact rules vary from group to group, they strive for as much historical accuracy as possible. Many SCA events will be battles. On the other hand, others focus on the artistic and scientific aspects of reenacting. In fact, many groups will have events dedicated to these topics. Further, SCA generally favors historical accuracy. Thus it is most important to first make sure to reach out to your local organizations to find out all their rules and activities.
What if I don’t see a Ren faire or LARP event near me in Washington?
