Michigan Renaissance Festival - Flint Scottish Pipe Band

[kiltedrennie]

That pretty much sums it up - it's a modern renaissance festival with a fun wink, wink, nudge, nudge at the Elizabethan renaissance. Not even close to a reenactment or SCA event. You see a lot more fantasy stuff, steampunk, cosplay, etc. than in the past.

I have a great kilt "costume" I wear just for the fun of it. Great kilts may have just barely made it into the late Elizabethan era but the documentation is sketchy. And I doubt a highlander would have worn one visiting London. I've also gone wearing a "modern" casual traditional kilt.

You do see what I would guess are accurately done renaissance garb that looks awesome. However, I'm no expert.

I gave up on the bog shoes and tartan hose - not enough support for my old feet.
