KITM Talks With The Connecticut Renaissance Faire

By Courtney and KISS in the Morning

October 3, 2018

Fantasy takes flight when you step back to the past at The 20th Annual Connecticut Renaissance Faire. It’s a time to play and unwind, to feast and drink, and a time to celebrate life the old-fashioned way. Watch shows on stages throughout the Faire, listen to minstrels and performers playing in the streets, and experience the ageless, old-world charm of a 16th-century village filled with laughter, romance, and good, old-fashioned family fun.

The Faire takes place on the Lebanon County Fairgrounds at 122 Mack Road in Lebanon, CT.

We see some amazing costumes at the faire made by some of our talented guests. Here is one of them we had to share! #Repost @alaskawanderlust with @get_repost ・・・ Falling deeper and deeper, the sirens sing your song. ------ Heyoooo so this was my finished ren faire outfit! It was pirates weekend but I didn't want to go as a pirate again, so I went as a siren. I pretty much made everything (obviously there are a few things that were bought, but heavily edited) I'll explain everything in separate posts, but for now, here it is! It seemed that@my costume was extremely well loved and it made me very very happy. I worked incredibly hard on this, so I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do! I HAVE to do a shoot in this outfit. Like. No if ands or buts. 🌊 ------ #ctrenfaire #connecticutrenaissancefaire #connecticutrenfaire #renfaire #siren #occharacter #occosplay #cosplay #costume #pirates #blue #shells #sirencostume #sirens #rennaissancefaire #renaissancefestival #ctfaire

There is something magical about the Faire that reminds us we all need a little more fun in our lives. Maybe it’s all the smiles and laughter. Maybe it’s the fond memories we get when we reflect on the pictures. Whatever your reason, we hope you’ll join us to celebrate the 20th annual Connecticut Renaissance Faire this fall.
