Well, some faires do. For what it's worth, over the almost 50 years renfaires have been popular in the US, "Renaissance Faire" has come to be a generic term to easily describe such events, even ones that are not 'set' in the early 16th to early 17th century.
I think in this context it's important to understand that Faire is about fun and entertainment, not history lessons or reenactment.
