Renaissance Festivals attempt to recreate the feel of the Renaissance
period. There are festivals held around the US (and in Canada, I
believe). The list is
quite extensive, but you'd get the idea how many of them there are.
Minnesota has its own Renaissance Festival held every year from mid
August to the end of September. One of the acts that perform there is the
Minnesota Traditional Morris Dancers one of the many groups of Morris
Dancers around the country. Fencing
is an art that got its start during the Renaissance. It's also pretty
fun.I went to Arizona's Renaissance Festival this year. I had a good time (but then I always do at Festivals).
