The Great Garb & Costume Parade

The Wyndonshire Renaissance Faire Garb and Costume Parade is a highlight of our celebration, where the past truly comes alive in a vibrant showcase of creativity and historical authenticity and wild historical inaccuracy. This event invites all attendees to don their finest Renaissance attire, from the noble to the commoner, to parade through the faire grounds, turning the day into a living, breathing tapestry of the era.

Participants can expect to see everything from intricately detailed court dresses, complete with farthingales and ruffs, to the humble yet characterful garb of a peasant or artisan. Knights in armor, pirates with their tricorn hats, and fantastical creatures from lore add to the eclectic mix, making this parade not just a walk but a storytelling journey through time.

Judges will roam among the crowd, looking for the most authentic, creative, and entertaining costumes, with prizes awarded for categories such as “Best Historical Accuracy,” “Most Creative,” and “People’s Choice.” The parade also features performances by our entertainers, who might join the march or provide musical accompaniment, enhancing the festive atmosphere.

Whether you’re dressed to impress or just here to enjoy the spectacle, the Garb and Costume Parade at Wyndonshire Renaissance Faire is an immersive experience, encouraging everyone to step into history and revel in the joy of shared imagination.
