In 10 years, I missed one TRF. Then I moved away two years ago and haven't been able to get back. Thanks for this video, I know every inch of the fair you showed, and it brought a nostalgic tear to my eye. Thanks.

When we lived in Houston, this was a staple event for us every year. It is massive! Good idea to stay closer than Austin - Just getting into the parking lot can take 3 hours since it's outside of a small town with absolutely inadequate roads. But the Faire itself is wonderful. Great shops, fantastic costumes, great performers. I highly recommend for anyone into RenFests.

I missed you by a day! Glad your group had such a wonderful time. My family and I go every year. I've been going for the past 25 years, since I was a teen. There is so much to see and do there. It can be overwhelming. Now that I've gone so much, my favorite part is talking with the shopkeeps and the actors. So much history, lore and stories with all of them. Everyone is so friendly, even Skid Mark can be fun.

Went to TRF in 1999. Loved it. I got Full length custom leather boots made and custom leather gauntlets made for shooting my bow. It has GROWN so much, especially the jousting. The Lions Club put on the Archery booth and I, since I was 13, shoot a longbow. They let me shoot my bow at the booth and it drew quite a bit of attention. I was even asked to come on as staff because I could Robin Hood an arrow 2 out of 3 times at 20 yards. I couldn't though :( I was stationed out there in Louisiana so I couldn't commit. WOULD HAVE BEEN GREAT FUN THOUGH!!! Thanks for posting and bringing back some wonderful memories!!!!

It was a trip watching this having been many many times, i recognized just about every area you went to. The shows I recommend are adam crack fire whip, clan tynkr, cast in bronze, and birds of prey. If you wanna get drunk and rowdy catch a show at the pirate ship she showed near the end of the video. Some advice if your a first timer, you wanna either go pretty early or more into the evening, if you go at peak times traffic is a nightmare getting in. If your there at opening its ok, and if you go more around noon-1pm most of the traffic has died down. While it is a huge faire and really fun, its not cheap. You can just buy tickets and wander around and watch shows, but your gonna see food and drink you want, and tipping shows you enjoy is good etiquette.

When you come back to TRF, would recommend a sit down experience the Kings Feast is an all you can eat Feast and Show with a variety of acts that do other individual shows at different venues within TRF (they do have Vegan options) and this is also an extra paid show with a Mead, Wine and Beers included. We live in Magnolia, which is 5 miles from TRF so we go 1-3 days throughout the Festival. another great show is Opal and Jade, it is an Adult Comedy show. There is also a Burlesque show in TRF, which is an extra paid ticket admission.

I lived in Houston, a little over an hour from the TRF site for over a decade. I think it spoiled me. I moved to Raleigh and then Seattle, and always felt the Ren Faire selections outside of Texas were… you know… fine, I guess. I sold off my sword when I moved to France, but I’ve kept the rest of my garb, just in case. I’ve even attended a wedding at TRF (friends of friends). Honestly, their wedding deal is not bad. You pay a flat rate, they provide the space for the ceremony, another space for the feast, the actual food and drink, plus an officially registered clergyman (in vaguely accurate clergy garb) to perform the ceremony. No need for florists, caterers, band, etc. And anybody who’d be willing to attend in the first place (you still have to purchase a ticket to enter) almost certainly has their own garb already. I honestly felt kind of like a tourist, because most of the other attendees were hardcore SCA folks, with full suits of armor and padded swords. My sword was actual metal, because I was 100% sure I wouldn’t be swinging it at anybody. (I’m pretty sure that if I’d tried swinging it at somebody, the SCA folks would use their padded weapons to beat me to a pulp anyway. I’m all about dressing weird and having a fun weekend, but the SCA does not f-k around. And they won’t break character the whole time they do it.)

Starting with The Call of Booty’s “Plunderdome”. The ultimate after party experience.

My brother and I camped out over the All Hallow's Eve weekend. We set up on Thursday around noon, and then it monsooned from about 6 to 11pm. It rained so hard we felt it misting through our rain flies! The water flowed down the campsite alley so hard and so thick it was lifting our respective tent floors off the ground. We were sleeping in sleeping bags atop like 8 inch tall air mattresses, and it felt like we were floating on waterbeds! Our separate communal canopy overturned during the storm, but fortunately we put everything fragile or sensitive into the truck before. The frat boys next to us said they went floating down the main road through the parking lot until it got too fast for comfort. We hung everything out to dry Friday, and figured that was our penance for all the fun we were about to have. And did we ever! It'e a totally different feel not having to get up early to drive there, and just moseying up to the gate wheneverthehellyoufeellikeit. The town just felt like an extension of the camp, instead of a show. It felt like we belonged. And leaving there each night was rough. So addicting! However, while the rain was gone, cold weather swooped in. We dropped from 85 to 55 Sunday afternoon, with the wind agusting. Crashed early Sunday night. And it dipped to 38 overnight. We dragged butt breaking down camp on Monday, savoring every last bit of the experience until we finally rolled out of there about 10:30am. Vive la France!
