Daniel Bonfiglio Published Yesterday in wow

The Renaissance Pleasure Faire originated in Agoura California, and was designed to be family fun through a combination of cosplay and informative displays. Beginning in 1963, the faire expanded around the country, and now hosts over 200,000 people every year.

70's fashion is fun on its own, but seeing a renaissance take on it is even better. Here are 35 photos of Renaissance Faires in the 1970s.
