The primary purpose of the Renaissance Faires I've been to, is to sell
things. They're big crafts fairs with exotic trimmings. Granted, they
tend to have a stage or two where people are performing. Granted, many
individual participants, particpate only to dress up and do their acts,
either on stage or in the "aisles,"
Referred to as "streets" by participants
and have no interest in selling any material goods. Still, the primary
purpose of the fair, the primary use of space, is for booths selling
crafts and of course, food.
I know many historic reenactment events also have booths where goods and
food are sold. But in a Renaissance Faire sales is the primary purpose of
the event.
Yes. A craft fair with stage shows and costumed participants and varying
attempts at history thrown in. Art and wine festivals, and the various
street craft fairs, do the same things except for the costume and history
parts.
