 This is the first renaissance faire in Maine in many years and we are 100% committed to offering this faire year after year. We are also determined that all participants take home memories that will bring them back year after year! We definitely
want to give back to the
community and will be donating
10% of all our profits to
a charity.
At this faire there is
no chrome or decorative
lighting in a sterile
mall atmosphere; instead
there are ribbons and
flags waving in the
wind, the sound of
bells, of lutes, of
ocarinas in the air, the
lilt of foreign accents,
the smell of cooking
foods and flowers, the
warmth of sun on your
face and the wind in
your hair. The setting
aside, what differs more
is the people; many,
dare I say most, people
are at faire because
they want to be there.
People work at the faire
to have fun, to
entertain; they want to
socialize. If you're
willing to play with
them, they're happy to
banter with you.

  To be
able to put on an event
the size of our Renaissance
Faire takes a large team
of folks who are willing
to roll up their sleeves,
work hard and have a great
time! If you are a
person who would like to
help, works hard and likes
to have fun, please send
us an email at
mainerenfaire@yahoo.com.
For
being a volunteer, we
will provide you free
entry into the Faire and
free food and
refreshment.
For every day you work
you get a free pass for
another day to come and
play.
The
only thing we ask of our
volunteers is that you dress
in Renaissance period costume.
If you need help in determining
“period garb”, please let
us know!

We hope you join us for
an incredible amount of
fun and frolic!

During The Renaissance, fashion from both Italian and Germanic designers had their influence over European clothing. Each brought something new and exciting to the world of Renaissance fashion.
In the Renaissance popular fashion styles ranged from wide, to barrel-shaped and square fashions.
Clothing then, as now, was a "status" symbol. However it was an even bigger status symbol during the renaissance. Fashion for the wealthy often meant spending a majority of their money on clothing and it was not uncommon for them to literally be 'wearing their wealth'. Darker colors of fabrics became popular to show off the embroidery or jewels that were sewn onto the clothing. The more elaborate the tailoring and craftsmanship, the more expensive the clothing was and helped establish a reputation of wealth for the owner.
