What is the biggest faire in the US??

[Temeny]

I was wondering What is the biggest over all faire in the US? Like the most people attend?

What is the longest running faire as far as show weeks??

Best I know....

it's Texas Ren Faire, or TRF. If I'm wrong, someone else will be along to correct me. :)

You are correct Bonnie!! Ding-ding-ding...we have a winner!!! :lol:

The longest-running would be the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire, I believe. We're currently holding at 11 weeks.

Used to be 16, though, so I'm grateful. That was one long-ass show. Well...still is, innit?

and our Faire-RPFS (Renaissance Pleasure Faire-South) wins as oldest, we just celebrated our 41st year :bow:

Texas or Minnesota is the biggest in terms of size. Pennsylvania is the longest show time. And Southern California is the oldest (they *have* changes sites though, right?)

As far as attendance, well that depends on the season. Last year Bristol was the highest ranking of all the REC faires due to the the weather at the others ones. We did the best economically and in terms of attendance. We out-volumed NYRF easily. But this year we suck, it has rained every weekend. That is a flux that we have to live with.

right-we moved from Agoura,CA to Devore, Ca -85 miles east (but just as HOT)...we also have a sister Faire, RPFN in Casa De Fruita, which also has moved several times, but RPFS is the oldest Faire.
